FC Heidenheim and Kaiserslautern last met in September of last year, and it was FC Heidenheim who went away and won 3-2 at Kaiserslautern's home. That game ended in an entertaining exchange, but the context is different this time, because both are in the early part of the season with form still unsettled, and each has picked up points from the first six matches to climb into the upper part of the table together. FC Heidenheim have won as many as four of their first six league matches, and their latest league outing was a 1-0 win, following consecutive wins before a 2-2 draw. Kaiserslautern are not far behind anyone in terms of results either, having also won three of their first six, but the difference lies in the attack, because Kaiserslautern have scored only six goals in six matches, while FC Heidenheim have already scored fourteen. Kaiserslautern's defence is tighter, but that comes at the cost of clearly creating fewer chances. This game is likely to see FC Heidenheim as the side opening up and attacking, because they have both the quality in attack and the advantage of playing at home, while Kaiserslautern are likely to set up in a block and wait for counter-attacking moments with the compactness they have done well all along. If the hosts score first, the game will open up even more and there is a chance the scoreline could stretch.
