For Augsburg, the home field factor is traditionally important, it is no coincidence that in the three previous face-to-face matches at their stadium they managed to beat Heidenheim.

The visitors are not distinguished by stability, regularly failing in defense, which the upcoming opponent is quite capable of taking advantage of more than once.
