Heidenheim stands on brink of bundesliga relegation

1. FC Heidenheim faces a daunting task this weekend as they prepare to host FC St. Pauli in the penultimate match of the Bundesligaseason. A defeat would guarantee the Bavarian club's relegation from the top tier.

A must-win scenario

Heidenheim needs a victory to stay in contention for a playoff spot, currently trailing Hamburg by seven points with three matches left. Coach Frank Schmidt is under pressure, having announced his summer departure earlier this week.

Schmidt wants his team to show commitment and spirit, despite the dire circumstances.
