FC Heidenheim desperately need points on Sunday, May 9 at 1:30 PM in the 2. Bundesliga. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

FC Heidenheim come into this fixture out of form (0W 2L recently). VfL Bochum, meanwhile, arrive struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. FC Heidenheim head into this on the back of a defeat, while VfL Bochum arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

Despite playing at home, FC Heidenheim face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. VfL Bochum have won 6 of 10 encounters, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 0–0 draw.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives FC Heidenheim a slight edge, but VfL Bochum are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
