Goal probability

Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.

96 %

Distance to Goal

The distance to goal is measured at the time of the shot - from the position of the ball to the center of the goal.

No way through

Xavi traps a through pass and looks set to get a shot away right in front of goal, but the Leipzig attacker slips at a crucial moment and Heidenheim can clear. It's been a half of very few chances at the Voith-Arena.

Henrichs brings down a flying Beste and that's a yellow card for the RBL man. Beste sends the subsequent free kick over the crossbar.

Rose's view on Heidenheim

"Heidenheim are a very awkward opponent, are enjoying a great season as a promoted side. They're a competitive team who make life tough for every opponent, often come from behind at home and even turn games around. They even come back against top teams. We've experienced it ourselves in the reverse fixture. They have the quality to win games in the Bundesliga."

Schmidt's view on Leipzig

"Leipzig are in top form. They've also won their last three away games. They're good at counter-pressing and press high. Then they transition well and have individual class, especially in attack with dangerous players like Openda, Xavi, Olmo and Šeško. We need to be ready to work hard defensively and cause problems for an opponent that's competing to be in the Champions League."

Work cut out

Frank Schmidt's men will have a job on their hands against a Leipzig side in fine form of late: the visitors to the Voith-Arena this weekend have collected 16 of the last possible 18 possible points available to them (five wins, one draw).

Leipzig's clear aim

For Die Roten Bullen, the goal couldn't be clearer with five games to go: securing a top-four finish. Last week's 3-0 triumph against Wolfsburg ensured Leipzig kept just ahead of Borussia Dortmund - in fifth - on goal difference.

Points adding up

Saturday's hosts took a point from their last match against Bochum on Matchday 29, meaning last season's second-division champions now have an eight-point buffer between themselves and the relegation zone.
