Command Analysis
FC Heidenheim
GermanyCurrent form
Heidenheim clearly needed a break at the end of last year, as the team was not fully prepared to play in the Conference League and the Bundesliga over the long term. As a result, after the Christmas break, Frank Schmidt charges pleased their fans not only with their play, but also with their results. First, they secured a confident victory over Union at home (2:0), and then took points away from Werder (3:3), and even came back three times during the match. With 14 points, Heidenheim is in safe 15th place, but Hoffenheim, who is lower, has the same number of points, plus St. Pauli, who is in 14th place, also has the same 14 points.

St. Pauli
GermanyCurrent form
Unlike their upcoming opponent, the break did not do any good to the St. Pauli players. In two matches, the pirates lost to Eintracht at home and to Bochum away with the same score of 0:1. The problems in attack have not gone away. Even in the match with not the most formidable Bochum, they managed to make only one shot on target. In total, Alexander Blessin charges have scored 12 goals, which is the worst result in the Bundesliga. In recent matches, the problems in attack are largely due to the absence of Johannes Eggestein due to illness, who may appear on the field today.
