FC Heidenheim desperately need points on Sunday, Dec 13 at 1:30 PM in the 2. Bundesliga. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

VfL Bochum come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5). FC Heidenheim travel out of form (0W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. VfL Bochum won their last outing, while FC Heidenheim suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

History strongly favours VfL Bochum here — they've won 6 of 10 previous meetings against FC Heidenheim, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 0–0 draw.

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