Conteh seals the deal!
The substitute has won it! A long ball up is brought down by Zivzivadze. Kiel had overcomitted men forward, and the Georgian slips it through for Conteh, who slots it calmly past Weiner for his first goal in the Bundesliga this season.

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.
Shot speed

Shot speed describes the maximum speed in km/h that a ball reaches in a shot on goal. The distance is measured from the location of the shot to the centre of the goal.

Harres pulls one back!
Kiel's record of scoring in every away match this season is kept by Harres. Komenda wins the ball back in the middle of the park. He slips it to Arp, who hits a great effort from distance, which moves in the air and forces Müller to parry it rather than catching it. Harres is quickest to react to the second ball, slotting it home from close range. Can Kiel push on for a leveller here...

Free-kick
Gimber gives away a foul on the left side outside Heidenheim's box. Tolkin takes the set-piece, but his curled ball towards the far post is headed clear by the hosts' defence.

Scienza can't keep it down
Heidenheim work it to the substitute on the left following a very intricate passing move. The midfielder cuts in and lets fly, but his curled effort is well over the bar.

Brief stoppage
There's a pause in play as Dorsch stays down following a challenge from Harres, which saw the Kiel man pick up a yellow card. He's back to his feet now, though, and play resumes.

In from Traoré
The wide man puts a teasing cross into the near post for Pieringer. The forward tries to squeeze it in at the near post, but it's just wide of the mark.
73'
Overcooked
Kiel demonstrate confident attacking play around Heidenheim's box. Holtby plays it into Arp, who flicks it round the corner to Harres. The striker tries an attempt on the turn, but it's scuffed. Kiel had a lot of men up but were too hesitant to pull the trigger there.
68'
Arp shoots
Bernhardsson gets to the byline down the left flank. His cross is blocked but falls to Arp, who dribbles past two defenders before shooting from the edge of the box - blocked again.

Corner
On the second time of asking, an in-swinger comes in from the left from Dorsch. Weiner punches the initial ball, but it drops to Beck, who rushes his half-volley, ballooning it over the bar.
58'
Woodwork!
Skrzybski is brought down on the edge of the Heidenheim box. Arp elects to take the free-kick. He curls it up and over the wall, but it rattles off the top of the crossbar and behind for a goal-kick.

Double change
Rapp goes to the bench again, bringing in Arp and Holtby for Machino and Knudsen.

Back to the drawing board
Rapp's half-time substitutions have not paid dividends as of yet, with Zivzivadze doubling the home side's advantage. The Kiel boss will be demanding hard work from his players for the remainder of the game.

Zivzivadze makes it two!
What a start to the second half from Heidenheim! A free-kick is floated in from deep on the right flank for the hosts. It drops to Pieringer, who has a one-on-one with Weiner, but the keeper makes a great stop. Heidenheim rework the second ball, finding Zivzivadze on the left side of the box. The Georgian hits a pinpoint low finish with his left foot, finding the bottom right corner for his second goal in two games.

Weiner alert
Zivzivadze is slipped through the heart of Kiel's defence, but Weiner is switched on, coming off his line to clear the danger before the Georgian can reach it.
40'
Free-kick
Kiel turn defence into attack quickly and Knudsen is brought down about 25 yards from goal by a combination of Gimber and Dorsch. After a brief delay due to a bloody nose sustained by Knudsen, Machino takes it short before Kiel work it into Gigović, whose shot from inside the box is blocked.

The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

Pieringer breaks the deadlock!
Heidenheim have lift-off. Traoré switches the play to Krätzig, as he has often done this half. The Bayern loanee takes a touch before floating a deep cross in towards Pieringer. The forward rises highest, glancing a header into the far corner and beyond the diving Weiner.

Huge chance
Zivzivadze spins his man to get into the Kiel box. He plays it wide to Pieringer, but Kiel do well to close the angle down and make it difficult for the forward. He gets a shot off, but it's straight at Weiner.

Pieringer goes for the spectacular
A cross comes into the Kiel box from Traoré down the right. It's just behind Pieringer, who tries to improvise acrobatically, but misjudges the ball and fails to make contact.

Danger
Heidenheim struggle to deal with a long ball over the top from Kiel. It drops to Skrzybski in the box, who lets fly, dragging his shot just wide of the near post.

Great effort
Much better from Heidenheim. Krätzig drives his side up the pitch before laying it off for Beck. It bobbles up for the midfielder, who strikes it first-time on the half-volley, forcing a great save out of Weiner.

Machino shoots
A well-worked move from the visitors: Porath plays a cross in from the left for Knudsen on the far post. The midfielder knocks it down for Machino, who shoots from inside the box, but there's no way through as Heidenheim bodies swarm.
8'
Traoré fouled
Porath fouls the Heidenheim man right by the touchline. Krätzig takes the set-piece; a left-footed in-swinger, but Kiel head it clear.

Becker hits one
Kiel's skipper hits a good effort from the edge of the Heidenheim box. A good block sees Mainka head it over the bar for a corner. Machino takes, but nothing comes of it.

Heidenheim counter
The hosts instantly look to break. Zivzivadze puts a dangerous cross in, but Skrzybski heads it clear before Krätzig can get on the end of it.

The first of the game goes Kiel's way. An in-swinger comes in from the left, but it's headed away at the front post.

Hosts with the historical edge
These two sides have met a total of 17 times, across the third division, Bundesliga 2 and Bundesliga. It's a testament to the continued rise of both sides over the years, however, that it is Heidenheim who have fared better in their meetings. They have won eight, drawn four and lost five of those games, and they'll aim to add a ninth win to that this afternoon.
All square
Both sides come into this game having drawn their previous one, with Heidenheim drawing against Hoffenheim and Kiel against Stuttgart. They'll therefore be eager to try and build some momentum from that, with three points going a long way for either side.
Chasing pack
St. Pauli's win on Friday means that all of the bottom three now have more work to do if they're to get to safety, especially Heidenheim and Kiel. They're now almost 10 points adrift of Pauli, but are still within touching distance of Bochum and the relegation playoff place.

Battle at the bottom
Heidenheim (18th) and Holstein Kiel (17th) are both looking for a crucial win that would increase their chances of survival. Heidenheim are six points adrift of safety, while Kiel are five away. The hosts are winless in nine, while Kiel have two wins in that same period.
