Union Berlin vs FC Heidenheim Recent Form Analysis

It's rather difficult to pin down Union Berlin's season in just a few sentences, as at times they've been excellent. Starting with the highs of being the first side to take points from Bayern Munich hence halting their record-breaking 15-game winning streak to start a season, and then prior, conceding four goals at home to fellow European chasers Hoffenheim, who granted, have a better side on paper. Berlin find themselves 5 points from 7th, and a win wouldn't move them higher, just a few steps closer to an illustrious European spot.

Heidenheim have had a campaign to forget so far, but that last minute goal against Elvesberg to maintain their Bundesliga status in the play-off match last season will still be fresh in the mind of many supporters, and even if they do go down which it looks likely, that moment should live long in the memory. 8 goals in 11 matches isn't horrific for bottom of the league, but 26 conceded stands out greatly, and a few clean sheets wouldn't be dismayed by Frank Schmidt's side, with wins also needing to come sooner rather than later.

However the H2H form states that Heidenheim should cruise to victory, defeating Berlin in three of the last four games, winning their previous encounter in this very stadium 3-0 in May, which helped them secure 16th spot and ultimately, survival.

• Union Berlin 2-1 Arminia Bielfeld (H) DFB Pokal
• Werder Bremen 1-0 Union Berlin (A) Bundesliga

They have responded well to a tight margain game against Werder that fell against their favour, notebly picking up a valuable point, which could've been three if not for Kane's last minute goal, against Bayern.

Key Player to Watch

Danilho Doekhi: The bloke has scored four goals, FOUR GOALS FROM CENTRE BACK... IN 11 GAMES? Yeah mate, he's a bookies worst nightmare. The 27-year old scored a brace against Bayern Munich, as well as the penultimate goal against Bielfeld in the cup which sent them packing, with Berlin advancing, whilst picking up man of the match in both those games. When he scores, he scores in bunches in the league, with a brace against Monchengladbach deciding the tie in Berlin's favour. It's not just his goal scoring threat however, as he's made 23 tackles, the most out of any centre back in the Bundesliga this season, and won the most duels, a staggering 77 in 11 matches. All 19 of his shots have come from inside the box, signalling a towering presence which any side would struggle to defend, ask Bayern Munich, one of the best in the business this season. His defensive and attacking attributes shed the colour green all over, and Heidenheim will have to hope he's not got his shooting boots on.
