Full-time: Hoffenheim 3-1 Heidenheim

The hosts took all three points for the second league game in a row after an assured performance in front of their fans. Heidenheim were much more of a threat after the break, but it was Hoffenheim who got the first goal of the second 45 through Kramarić, whose brilliant finish almost confirmed the win with plenty of time to spare. The visitors did eventually get on the scoresheet through an excellent finish from Schimmer, but they didn't have enough to mount a comeback against an impressive Hoffenheim.

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).
Hoffenheim are still the more dangerous side, but Heidenheim have offered more in these early stages.

Half-time: Hoffenheim 2-0 Heidenheim

The hosts head into the break with a comfortable lead, having spent most of the half on the attack. A moment of brilliance from Asllani opened the scoring, before Lemperle finished off a slick team move just before the break to put some distance between themselves and Heidenheim.

More on those teams

Not many changes to mention here as Hoffenheim remain unchanged following their 3-0 win at St.Pauli, and Schmidt decides to make just the one change from the side that drew 2-2 with Bremen as Gimber replaces the injured Kaufmann in what would seemingly indicate a switch to a back five.

Christian Ilzer on facing Heidenheim

"Heidenheim played in Europe last season, which speaks for itself. It's going to take a big effort on our part. They're very compact and run hard. They give you the feeling that they fight for every ball. We need to be ready to run a lot and put in the hard yards."

Frank Schmidt on facing Hoffenheim

"Hoffenheim play very high up the pitch, very offensively, and now certainly want to get their first points at home, just like we do on the road. We must not be passive under any circumstances and we must not sit too deep, but instead go one-on-one across the whole pitch. We have to stop them from getting into their rhythm and high tempo."

Home discomforts

Hoffenheim have lost their opening three home games of a Bundesliga season for the first time. Mainz are the only other team without a point on their own patch in 2025/26.
