The German Bundesliga returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Eintracht Frankfurt and FC Heidenheim square off at the Deutsche Bank Park on Sunday (October 8).
The hosts' perfect start to their UEFA Europa Conference League campaign came to an end on Thursday with a 2-1 defeat at PAOK.
That was in keeping with their struggles in the Bundesliga, where they're on a five-game winless run, losing once, since a 1-0 win over Darmstadt on August 20. Dino Toppmoller’s side now return home, where they're unbeaten since March.
Meanwhile, Heidenheim turned in a fine defensive show of class last time out, grinding out a 1-0 win over Union Berlin at the Voith-Arena. Frank Schmidt’s men have won two of their last three game, with a 4-1 loss at Bayer Leverkusen on September 24 sandwiched between the two wins.
Trending
With seven points from six games, Heidenheim are tenth in the standings, level on points with Frankfurt but behind on goal difference.
