FC Heidenheim desperately need points on Sunday, Nov 8 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). Hannover 96, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 1D 2L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. FC Heidenheim head into this on the back of a defeat, while Hannover 96 arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

In 10 previous meetings, FC Heidenheim lead 6–4 with 0 draws. Their last encounter ended in Hannover 96 won 0–3. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives FC Heidenheim a slight edge, but Hannover 96 are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
