Heidenheim take on the visitors Braunschweig in the round 2 match of German Bundesliga 2. The match will be played on Saturday, July 23th at Voith-Arena (Heidenheim).
Heidenheim start another the season at this level. The "Red-blue" have existed formally since the middle of the 19th century. Although, of course, this concerns the sports club as a whole, and not its football direction. It has only relatively recently been able to reach a sufficiently high level. In 2014, having won a lower division, the team made their debut in Bundesliga 2. Over the following years, Heidenheim peaked in 2020 when they finished in 3rd place, and only due to an unfortunate junction with Werder Bremen did not proceed to the top country division. Although more typical for them are average positions, like 6th, on which he finished last season. However, the new start turned out to be successful: due to the only goal of Shimmer on the road, Hansa was beaten.
Eintracht Braunschweig returned to Bundesliga 2. The "Lions" actually were the champion of Germany (more precisely, West Germany, it was in 1967). It also turned out to reach the quarterfinals of the European Champions Cup. But over the past 40 years, after relegation from the Bundesliga 1 in 1985, the team only once rose to the top division of the country - in 2013. But quite expectedly, Eintracht took the last place there, and in 2018 it ended up in the Bundesliga 3. From there it was possible to rise twice, but in 2018 and 2021, new falls immediately followed. Of course, now the task is obvious: at least from this attempt, taking into account the mistakes of the previous ones, to give a result in the form of "keeping the registration". The wards of Michael Schiele started on July 17 at home, but against Hamburg. For more than an hour in this pair, the score was not opened, but in the end, due to Glatzel's double, the victory went to the ambitious visitors.
In the last 5 head-to-heads the team that hosted the opponent on its field has invariably won. And three times in this segment it was Eintracht. Heidenheim looks more solid and plays at home. We bet that he will beat Braunschweig.
Prediction for the match: Heidenheim to win.
