Team News

FC Heidenheim
Union Berlin
  • Benedikt Gimber is available after suspension, but Marvin Pieringer is on the naughty step after picking up five yellow cards. Julian Niehues has a long-standing ACL injury.
  • Kevin Vogt is available after suspension, but skipper Rani Khedira is suspended after picking up five yellow cards. Frederik Rönnow is struggling with an elbow injury.
  • Yannic Stein is recovering from an op, while Ivan Prtajin is still making his way back from injury.

Prediction

  • A meeting of two sides who both desperately needed the winter break to regroup.
  • Union sacked Bo Svensson just after Christmas after a run of eight league games without a win. Steffen Baumgart is the new man in charge.
  • Heidenheim have plummeted into the bottom three after losing six in a row and gaining just a solitary point in their last nine Bundesliga games.
  • After conceding the first goal, Union have failed to win in their last 34 games, including a 1-1 draw with bottom club Bochum.
  • A draw is a good shout with the spoils shared to start the new year.
