Heidenheim and Bochum return to action in the German Bundesliga when they go head-to-head at Voith-Arena on Sunday.
Thomas Letsch’s men have won their last five games against the hosts and will head into the weekend looking to continue in the same vein.
Heidenheim were sent crashing back to earth just before the international break as they suffered a 4-2 loss against reigning champions Bayern Munich at the Allianz Stadium.
This followed an impressive 2-0 victory over Stuttgart on November 5 which saw their five-match losing streak come to an end.
With 10 points from 11 matches, Heidenheim are currently 13th in the Bundesliga table, one point and one place above Sunday’s visitors.
Meanwhile, Bochum were one of the more active sides during the international break as they picked up a 2-1 win over Dutch side De Graafschap in a friendly fixture on November 15.
Letsch’s men have now gone unbeaten in four consecutive matches across all competitions, claiming two wins and two draws since a 2-1 loss against Freiburg on October 21.
While Bochum will be looking to pick up where they left off last time out, they have struggled for results away from home, where they have managed just one win in the league since March.
Heidenheim vs Bochum Head-To-Head and Key Numbers
- With nine wins from the last 15 meetings between the sides, Bochum boasts a superior record in the history of this fixture.
