Heidenheim form & balance check
The euphoria after the second division championship is still great, but the task of staying in the class is even greater. FCH is one of the top relegation candidates in its first Bundesliga season, and they will have to struggle to earn the points needed to stay in the class. The Wolves didn’t take long to take the lead early in the first half. Although Heidenheim came out of the dressing room motivated and were also quite close to scoring the equalizer, they failed to take advantage of their few chances.
Bundesliga premiere
The Wolves then got back into the game, though, and although they didn’t score again, they managed to keep the 2-0 lead. The FCH was visibly trying and certainly must be given a few more games to get used to the 1. Bundesliga, but it will still be a fight to the end for the Baden-Württemberger.

Hoffenheim form & balance check
After a desolate Hinrunde under Breitenreiter, Matarazzo managed to keep the class and finish the season in 12th place in the table. Although the performance up to the end was not impeccable either, there was at least an upward trend. For the opener, TSG received the Europa League participant from Breisgau and in the end had to admit defeat with 1:2.
Weghorst failure
The game started open and both teams had their shares of the game until Freiburg finally got better and better into the game. Three aluminum goals for Freiburg speak for themselves and even if Kabak came close again with the final goal, the Breisgauer left nothing to chance and secured the three. In addition, the loss of Wout Weghorst on loan naturally caused a slight hangover at TSG. However, this is said to have been only a short-term absence.
