1. FC Heidenheim – 1. FC Magdeburg

Heidenheim, sitting third with 13 points after four wins, a draw and a loss, will host Magdeburg, who are sixth on 10 points from three victories, a draw and two defeats. The hosts enjoy a slim goal advantage, having scored 14 and conceded 12, while the visitors sit at 11 for and nine against. Both sides have already proven their attacking intent, and the three‑point gap between them adds extra spice to a clash that could reshape the top‑half of the table. A win for Heidenheim would widen the gap to the leaders, whereas a Magdeburg triumph would bring them within striking distance of the European spots.
