Football Season Guide

It was another solid season last time out for Heidenheim under long-term coach Frank Schmidt. They didn't quite hit the heights of the previous campaign but still gained a respectable top half finish. Heidenheim have been relatively quiet in the transfer window over the summer but have secured the signature of Tim Kleindienst on a permanent deal. The striker scored 11 goals in 15 appearances for the club last season. Youngster Tim Siersleben has also arrived from Wolfsburg on loan to gain experience and will hopefully play his part in central defence. Veteran Marc Schnatterer has moved on after playing for the club for over 10 years, his all round influence will be a loss to the side. You expect Heidenheim to be well drilled again under Schmidt this season, home form has been particularly strong in recent campaigns and it wouldn't be surprising if that is the case again. Heidenheim will have to improve on the road if they are to better their position from last term. Finding consistency could be a potential problem as well as squad depth if injuries occur.
