Heidenheim vs Eintracht Frankfurt: Preview
Heidenheim form analysis
FC Heidenheim has been relatively sturdy defensively but prone to inconsistent attacking displays in recent results. On February 24th, Heidenheim drew 2-2 away at Union Berlin, coming from behind twice with goals from Dovedan and Beste to claim a point. Earlier on February 17th though, Heidenheim fell 2-1 at home to Bayer Leverkusen with Kleindienst’s late consolation after second half goals from Frimpong and Adli. Prior to that on February 10th, Heidenheim earned an impressive 1-2 away win at Werder Bremen thanks to strikes from Maloney and Beste.
On February 3rd, Heidenheim ground out a gritty 0-0 home draw against Borussia Dortmund. Heidenheim’s best recent performance came in a 1-1 away draw at Hoffenheim on January 27th with Dinkçi netting for the visitors. So Heidenheim has shown resilience and quality defensively to trouble top sides, but more consistency in attack is required to turn results. Staying compact and converting chances better could prove useful moving forward.
Eintracht Frankfurt form analysis
Eintracht Frankfurt has struggled defensively at times recently but shown impressive resolve to battle back into matches behind a sporadically dangerous attack. On February 25th, Frankfurt claimed a stoppage time equalizer at home through Marmoush to draw Wolfsburg 2-2 after coming from behind twice. Earlier on February 18th, Frankfurt drew a wildly entertaining 3-3 game away at Freiburg powered by a Knauff brace and Marmoush’s fourth goal across five games.
Prior to that, Frankfurt drew 1-1 at home with Bochum on February 10th with Marmoush scoring his third goal in four games. On February 3rd though, defensive issues surfaced in a 2-0 away loss at FC Koln despite chances to level. Frankfurt’s best recent performance was a tightly contested 1-0 home win over Mainz on January 27th with Götze netting the winner. So while Frankfurt’s attack has sparkled, tightened defensive organization could see improved consistency in results. Sustaining their energy and chance conversion better would give an advantage.
