Heidenheim still at the bottom of the table: Schmidt remains calm!

A truly exciting football weekend is coming up, and the situation for 1. FC Heidenheim could hardly be more critical. On November 2, 2025, the team achieved a draw against Eintracht Frankfurt, but that was not enough to move out of the bottom of the Bundesliga table. Coach Frank Schmidt was optimistic after the game and sees no reason to panic. “The gaps in the table are narrow, there is something there,” explains Schmidt in a press conference. A win would have catapulted Heidenheim into a non-relegation zone, but even with one point the situation is tense.

The team has collected at least five points in their last home games, but away from home things look bleak - Heidenheim hasn't achieved a single point so far. “We have to keep collecting points to stay in the league,” continued Schmidt. The next opponent, Bayer Leverkusen, goes into the race as favorites despite their defeat against Bayern Munich. It's high time for Heidenheim to finally score points away from home.

Positive news on an individual level

A look at the numbers shows that the situation is tense, but not hopeless. Schmidt emphasizes: “It is important to be competitive in the final phase of the season.” Given the close gap in the table, anything is still possible and, as we all know, hope dies last. The club's fans can look forward to a thrilling game against Bayer Leverkusen - now it's time to keep their fingers crossed and hope for an away point.
