FC Heidenheim go into this friendly after closing out their league campaign with a 0-3 defeat, while Würzburger Kickers also come in off a league loss. The two sides therefore meet in similar circumstances, each having just finished a game that did not go well, and there are no points on offer for either of them here. FC Heidenheim have still been the better of the two in the league, with 14 scored and 12 conceded in 6 matches, but a defence that concedes in every game means they have never managed to shut out an opponent. Würzburger Kickers have it worse in that they have lost 4 of 7 matches and have conceded 15 goals at the back. A 2-6 scoreline in one of their games makes it clear the defence has problems when they come up against a team that can keep the pressure on. This game should open up early, because both teams have bigger problems in defence than in attack. The first half is likely to produce goals from mistakes by both sides, but the second half could be different, because FC Heidenheim tend to score more late in games than at other times, while Würzburger Kickers also concede a lot late on. The match therefore has a good chance of finishing with a scoreline that is not too far apart.
