Matchday 18 of the German Bundesliga sees mid-table Heidenheim playing host to 11th-place Wolfsburg. Heidenheim come into this matchup sitting ninth in the standings with six wins, three draws and eight losses for a points total of 21. The hosts are in a fine run of form at the moment with three wins and a draw from their last four Bundesliga fixtures. Their most recent snapped the three game winning streak but continued the unbeaten run as they drew 1-1 away at Koln. Frank Schmidt’s side have been formidable when playing at the Voith-Arena this season, racking up five wins and a draw in their eight fixtures. This has them averaging 2.00 points earned per home outing compared to just 0.56 when playing as the away team. They’re unbeaten in their last four home appearances with their last two each ending in a 3-2 victory.

Wolfsburg sit just a single point behind their opponents today who they will be looking to leapfrog with a victory. Die Wolfe have struggled overall in the first half of the campaign with just six wins and two draws from their first 17 league fixtures. This has them trailing Frankfurt by seven points for a spot in European qualification. Wolfsburg’s last match was a 1-1 away draw against 16th-place Mainz in what was a very evenly-contested match. The stalemate means that the visitors have now managed just a single win in their last five league matches. Wolfsburg have struggled to get consistent away results this season with a 2-1-6 record in their nine trips in the Bundesliga. They see a dramatic drop in their defensive solidity with 19 goals conceded compared to just nine goals allowed in eight home games. Their only away victory in the last eight league matches was against bottom of the table Darmstadt.
