Heidenheim Aim to Build on Solid Standing
Karlsruher SC sit 17th with just eight points from nine games while 1. FC Heidenheim hold sixth place on 15 points. The visitors have taken points from three of their last five matches and show greater consistency overall. At home Karlsruher have averaged 1.6 goals scored but conceded two per game this season. Heidenheim have won four of the last ten meetings between the sides. Both teams have seen three or more goals in at least half of their league fixtures so far. Heidenheim travel with a slightly better goal difference and the higher league position. The game may turn on whether Karlsruher can break down a compact Heidenheim defence that has kept three clean sheets already.
