Eintracht Frankfurt
- Eintracht Frankfurt sit 7th in the Bundesliga table with 35 points from 25 games.
- Frankfurt are a high-tempo side who play a vertical game with plenty of wide overloading and quick interchanges.
- In Burkardt, they have a finisher who will play the ball in tight spaces and create problems for a deep block with his movement off the ball.
- Frankfurt boss Albert Riera has brought a fresh approach to the team since taking over in February 2026 and they are defending better and attacking with more fluidity as a result.
- In Jonathan Burkardt, the hosts have a real focal point in attack with 9 goals in just 13 Bundesliga appearances this season, while Luca Kerber has chipped in with 2 goals in his last 5 as he has shown an ability to arrive late into the box from midfield.
FC Heidenheim 1846
- FC Heidenheim 1846 are bottom of the table on 14 points from 25 matches.
- Heidenheim’s compact, pragmatic set up and man-marking system with a preference for quick, direct transitions on the break suits their talented, but small squad, perfectly as they aim to frustrate more expansive sides.
- Heidenheim have a focal point of their own in Stefan Schimmer, who has scored 5 Bundesliga goals in 20 appearances this term.
- But Heidenheim will have to play at their best to cause problems for Frankfurt’s defence, which concedes an average of 1.50 goals at home, having conceded 18 in 12 home matches.
