The starting lineup for each team from their last match in this tournament is listed.
Heidenheim
In Matchday 11, Frank Schmidt's side suffered a 2-5 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen. This loss extended Heidenheim's winless streak in the Bundesliga to six matches (1 draw, 5 losses). In the league table, the club occupies 15th place, with only a 2-point cushion above the relegation playoff zone.
- At least one team failed to score in 4 of Heidenheim's last 5 home Bundesliga matches.
- The club conceded first in 9 of their last 12 home matches in the German championship.
- Frank Schmidt's side scored at least one goal in 9 of their last 12 encounters at Voith Arena in this tournament.
Eintracht
In the previous round, the team defeated Werder Bremen 1-0. This result extended Eintracht's unbeaten run to four matches in the German championship (3 wins, 1 draw). By Matchday 12, Dino Toppmöller's side is in second place in the Bundesliga standings, trailing Bayern Munich by 6 points. It's worth noting that in 11 games in this tournament, the club has already amassed 23 points – nearly half of the total points they earned in the 2023/24 Bundesliga (47 points by the end of that season).
- Both teams scored in 7 of Eintracht's last 8 away matches in the championship.
- No more than three goals were scored in 7 of the club's last 9 away encounters in this tournament.
- Eintracht scored first in their last 5 away Bundesliga matches.
Heidenheim vs. Eintracht: Match Prediction
In the 2024/25 Bundesliga, Heidenheim appears lackluster compared to their successful previous season. The club has not won in their last 6 league matches (1 draw, 5 losses). During this stretch, Frank Schmidt's side failed to secure even a single point, including a match against the tournament's underdog, Holstein Kiel (0-1).
In contrast, Eintracht has been very impressive in this Bundesliga campaign. The team has not lost in 9 of their last 10 league matches (7 wins, 2 draws). During this period, Dino Toppmöller's side defeated several strong clubs – Wolfsburg (2-1), Borussia Mönchengladbach (2-0), and Stuttgart (3-2), with the only team they failed to earn points against being the 2023/24 Bundesliga champions, Bayer Leverkusen (1-2).
Let's also consider the head-to-head meetings between the teams. In the German championship, the opponents have faced each other only twice, with the Frankfurt club winning both matches (2-0 and 2-1). I don't think Dino Toppmöller's side will face difficulties against a struggling Heidenheim. My prediction: Eintracht with a handicap (0)
