Heidenheim in crisis: 4 points after 7 games – what now?

The Bundesliga is in full swing and things are looking anything but rosy for 1. FC Heidenheim after seven games played in the current 2025/2026 season. With only 4 points and the current table position in 17th place, the pressure is enormous, while the team has only managed one win in the last five games. A look at the past matches shows: the home win against FC Augsburg (2-1) is the only bright spot in a mixed season so far.

In an exciting duel on October 18th, 1. FC Heidenheim had to catch up against SV Werder Bremen, which ended in a 2-2 draw. There had previously been defeats that had a heavy impact on the mood: a 1-0 against VfB Stuttgart, a 2-1 against Hamburger SV and a 0-2 against Borussia Dortmund characterized the promoted team's tricky weeks. The team now faces its next important game: On November 1st it will be against Eintracht Frankfurt, who are currently in 8th place, and kick-off is at 3:30 p.m.

Schedule and outlook

The next challenges for Heidenheim are also not easy. Bayer 04 Leverkusen awaits on November 8th, followed by a home game against Borussia Mönchengladbach on November 22nd. Then it's against 1. FC Union Berlin on November 29th, before SC Freiburg visits on December 6th.

With only 6 goals scored and 13 conceded, 1. FC Heidenheim urgently needs to work on its offense in order to get out of the relegation zone. The goal difference of -7 speaks volumes. The competition doesn't sleep: league leaders FC Bayern are currently undisputed at the top with 21 points. This clearly shows that the newcomer has to shake himself up and get back on the fast track if he wants to end the season successfully.

Balance sheet and statistics

A look at the last games gives rise to optimism, as the team has proven with its highest-scoring encounters, including a 3-1 against TSG 1899 Hoffenheim and the goal-scoring draw against Werder Bremen, that it can also radiate danger. Nevertheless, the hope remains that the team will be more consistent in their performance.
