On May 18, 2024, in the 34th round of the German Bundesliga 1, Heidenheim will face Cologne. The absolute debutant has achieved all its seasonal goals. The visitors are preparing for another descent into the country's second division, and only a victory can keep their hopes of a miraculous escape alive.

Key Statistics and Trends:

  • Heidenheim has won only 1 of their last 8 home matches, but that win was against Bayern Munich.
  • Cologne has not won in their last 9 away matches, but 6 of their last 7 have ended in draws.
  • Heidenheim has scored 26% of their goals between the 61st and 75th minutes.
  • Cologne has scored 37% of their goals between the 76th and 90th minutes.

Heidenheim - Form Analysis:

They have proven to be a solid mid-table team. The "Red and Blues" secured their right to play in the Bundesliga for the first time in 2023 and have not been out of place. Even in the spring, having long secured their place for the next season, they continue to fight for points – only RB Leipzig has beaten them since mid-March. They finished 1-1 with ambitious Freiburg in the last round.

Cologne - Form Analysis:

A change in management did not save them. The "Billy Goats" played in the Conference League last season but are now stuck in the relegation zone. Baumgart was fired in winter, replaced by Timo Schultz during the break, but 2024 has not brought significant improvement. They only managed to beat Eintracht and Bochum at home, but recent draws with Mainz and Freiburg have not been enough to move them out of the penultimate position. The last match against Union Berlin was crucial, where they managed a 3-2 win, but they are still 3 points behind.

Heidenheim: Team News
