Union Berlin's defensive solidity at home is a cornerstone of their success. However, their challenge lies in breaking down a Heidenheim side that has proven to be effective on the counterattack. Union’s 2-2 draw in February 2024 and the 2-0 DFB Pokal victory in 2022 illustrate their capability to grind out results against Heidenheim. With their passionate fan base and proven home record, Union Berlin will be determined to secure all three points in this encounter.
FC Augsburg
FC Augsburg enters this clash in dire form, winless in their last five matches across all competitions. A recent 5-1 drubbing by Holstein Kiel and a 0-2 home loss to Bayer Leverkusen underline their defensive issues. Augsburg’s inability to hold onto leads and their struggles against high-pressing sides have been evident.
Despite their troubles, Augsburg’s home record against Stuttgart offers some hope. Their most notable performance at WWK Arena was a 6-0 demolition of Stuttgart in 2019, showing their potential when they click. To get anything from this match, Augsburg must tighten up defensively and rely on quick transitions to catch Stuttgart off-guard.
