Bayern is always Bayern. Even after a prolonged crisis, the Munich side has once again begun to dominate the Bundesliga and is currently the main favorite in the title race. After 12 rounds, Vincent Kompany’s team sits at the top of the table, leading second-place Eintracht by 4 points.
In the previous round, Bayern came dangerously close to suffering their first league defeat but managed to secure a late draw in Der Klassiker against Borussia Dortmund (1-1). However, on Tuesday, Bayern did lose in the DFB-Pokal. Playing with 10 men from the 18th minute, they fell 0-1 to Bayer Leverkusen.
In the Champions League, Bayern has accumulated 9 points from 5 matches. After losses to Aston Villa (0-1) and Barcelona (1-4), they managed narrow victories over Benfica (1-0) and PSG (1-0).
Heidenheim is in a prolonged slump. This is unsurprising for such a small club, which last season made a sensational entry into European competitions but lacks the resources to compete effectively on three fronts. Currently, Martin Schmidt’s side is fighting for survival. After 12 rounds, the Blue and Reds have collected just 10 points and sit in the relegation playoff zone in 16th place. However, they are 5 points ahead of Holstein Kiel, so even a loss in Munich won’t drop them into the automatic relegation zone.
In the last Bundesliga round, Heidenheim suffered a crushing 0-4 home defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt, following a 2-5 loss to Bayer Leverkusen despite taking an early 2-0 lead.
Interestingly, Heidenheim has nearly secured a spot in the UEFA Conference League playoffs. The European debutants have earned 9 points in 4 matches, although they understandably lost to Chelsea (0-2) last Thursday.
