Gameweek 16 in the Bundesliga will see Heindeheim play host to Freiburg on Wednesday evening. The hosts are currently in 12th place in the league standings, while the visitors are sixth. Heidenheim have made a very promising start to life in the top flight. Last season’s 2. Bundesliga winners have already taken 17 points from their first 15 matches and are eight points clear of the drop zone. FCH come into this match following a hard-fought 1-0 win over Mainz at the weekend, marking their first away win in the league this season. At home, though, Heidenheim are unbeaten in their last three and have earned 13 points in seven games this term. However, against a top-six opponent in this one, the bookmakers have the hosts down as the marginal underdog. 

Meanwhile, Freiburg are currently sat in the Conference League qualifier spot with 24 points, two shy of Borussia Dortmund in fifth place. The visitors continued their good league form with a 2-0 win over Cologne last weekend. That marked their third victory on the bounce and fourth game unbeaten. Notably, Freiburg did not concede a single goal in each of their last three league matches. The only blemish on their record since the last international break was a 2-0 loss to West Ham United in the Europa League, though they still qualified for the knockout round behind the Hammers in Group A. The Breisgau Brazilians also won back-to-back away games ahead of this one, keeping clean sheets in both. With this being the last match before the festive break, the visitors will want to keep their unbeaten run intact heading into the New Year.
