Heidenheim 1846 vs Stuttgart: Preview
Heidenheim 1846 form analysis
Heidenheim’s recent run of games has shown them to be dangerous going forward but with a propensity to collapse defensively against quality opposition. They started with an expected 4-1 loss away at Leverkusen, going toe-to-toe before ultimately being outclassed. Things improved with an impressive 1-0 home win over Union Berlin in the cup thanks to a Beste goal. However, defensive issues resurfaced in a 0-2 home defeat to Frankfurt, unable to cope with their slick attack.
Their problems at the back came to the fore in a 5 goal thriller away at Augsburg, twice leading 2-0 before capitulating to lose 2-5. Most recently, they pushed Gladbach close in a 2-1 away loss, equalizing before conceding again due to a lucky deflection. Overall, Heidenheim can trouble teams through Kleindienst, Thomalla and Dinkci in attack but lose all defensive shape far too easily. They have the talent to make this a successful top-flight debut season.
Stuttgart form analysis
Stuttgart’s recent run of games has showcased them as an energetic, counter-attacking team with lethal striker Guirassy spearheading their attack. They started with a come from behind 3-1 home win over Darmstadt thanks to a Guirassy brace after equalizing through Millot. Guirassy was on target again, grabbing a brace in an excellent 2-0 away win at Köln. Stuttgart’s attack continued to flourish in a 3-1 home thrashing of Wolfsburg, with Guirassy again scoring twice after equalizing from the spot.
Their counters worked to perfection in a stunning 3-0 away win at Union Berlin, racing into a two goal lead before Undav sealed the points late on. Most recently, they narrowly lost out 2-3 in a thriller at home to Hoffenheim, twice coming back through Führich and Undav but just falling short. Overall, Stuttgart have looked extremely dangerous on the break and have a truly potent attack, but their defending remains inconsistent.
