Hamburg vs Heidenheim: Match Preview

Hamburg finished second in Bundesliga 2 last season, earning 59 points from 34 matches, which secured their promotion to the Bundesliga. However, the start of this season has been disappointing. They drew 0-0 against Borussia Mönchengladbach in the first match, followed by a 0-2 loss to St. Pauli, a 1-3 loss in a friendly against Hannover, and a heavy 0-5 defeat to Bayern Munich after the international break. Currently, Hamburg has one point and is near the bottom of the table.

Heidenheim has also faced difficulties this season. They participated in the UEFA Conference League after the 2023/24 season but struggled and finished 16th with 29 points, only avoiding relegation due to a playoff win against Elversberg. This season has not started well for them either, with three losses in three matches: 1-3 to Wolfsburg, 0-2 to Leipzig, and 0-2 to Borussia Dortmund. Heidenheim is at the bottom of the league with a goal difference of 1:7.
