A good day after all?
It's Buendía's first Bundesliga goal since his winter arrival from Aston Villa. And what a crucial one it could be.

LATERKUSEN STRIKE AGAIN!
Well, well, well. The clock had just hit 90 and that means Leverkusen time. Buendía picking up the ball on the edge of the D, taking aim with his right foot and wheeling away in celebration as the ball clips the inside of the post and goes in. A huge goal for the defending champions.
88'
Over the bar
Beck gets to the by-line and cuts back to Pieringer, but he skies his shot from just inside the area.
86'
Hofmann!
Finally Kevin Müller is forced into a save, but it's a simple one as Hofmann failed to really connect from 18 yards.
85'
Who's need is greater?
Leverkusen will fall eight points behind Bayern with six games to go as it stands. Meanwhile, Heidenheim will open up a three-point cushion over the automatic relegation spots ahead of games against Frankfurt, Bayern and Stuttgart.

A chance for the sub now as he gets his head onto a cross but there's no direction on it.

Still nothing
Arthur looks for Schick with a deep cross, but it sails over the Czech striker.

68'
Double change
Frimpong will move further forward as Arthur goes to wing-back. It's a straight swap up top with Schick on for Boniface.
66'
Almost special!
Traoré up the right, flashes the ball into the six-yard box. Pieringer goes for the back-heel but doesn't quite get it right and the grateful Hrádecký can collect.
64'
No way through
Xhaka with a pass into the feet of Boniface, who tries to turn his marker and fire off Leverkusen's first shot from inside the box, but he's immediately swarmed.
62'
Risky
A hefty backpass from Tah almost catches out Hrádecký, who's just able to clear the ball ahead of Beck charging at him.
62'
Leverkusen changes coming
Alonso is dishing out instructions as he looks to turn the tide.
56'
Attacking change
It's a bold move from Frank Schmidt, sending on the more attacking Scienza for the hard-working Busch, who's normally a full-back but has done a very good job in central midfield today.
53'
A really good display
Heidenheim may be fighting to stay up but they've been undoubtedly the better side so far. Leverkusen are yet to have a shot from inside the box.
50'
Heidenheim a step ahead
47'
Beck blocked
The Heidenheim man twists and turns inside the penalty area looking for a yard of space for a shot. He thinks he's got it, but Andrich sticks tight and throws out a leg to block for a corner.
46'
Xabi's long walk
The Bayer boss was late out from the changing rooms, which are located on the opposite side of the pitch from the dugouts, so he's having to trot around the outside to get back to his bench.
46'
Back out
No changes in personnel at the break. Will there be a change in the pattern of play?

Xhaka off target
Boniface lays the ball off to the Swiss midfielder, who can certainly hit them, but this one doesn't bother Müller in goal.
42'
First card
Schöppner pulls back Tella attempting to break away. His seventh caution of the campaign.
40'
Pieringer once more
Yet another chance for the Heidenheim striker as he collects a diagonal ball ahead of Hincapié, but he snatches at his left-footed shot inside the D.
36'
Now Leverkusen
Only a second shot of the game by the champions as Adli gets the ball out of his feet and has a crack from 20 yards left of the centre, but it swerves comfortably wide into the side netting.
33'
Pieringer again
A counter this time as Krätzig intercepts a pass. The move progresses to Pieringer right of centre. He goes low from the edge of the penalty area but drags his effort wide.
32'
Pieringer lob
The striker runs onto a bouncing ball in behind and opts for the audacious lob from 10 yards but gets it all wrong and knows the shot well over the bar.

Adli on the stretch
Better from the defending champions as Frimpong comes up the right and bends the ball in behind the Heidenheim defence. Adli's there at the far post but can't make any contact on the stretch.
19'
A slower start
Heidenheim found themselves 1-0 up after 10 minutes and doubled their lead after 21 in the reverse fixture at the BayArena, but Leverkusen still went on to win 5-2.
18'
Wide of the mark
Heidenheim with a quick throw on the right. The ball eventually comes over to Krätzig on the left, who winds up but can only fire his shot into the side netting.

Confident claim
Traoré hangs up a cross from deep on the right. Hrádecký calls it and catches confidently, but takes a knock from the challenging Pieringer in the process.

Hincapié wide
The Ecuadorian scored in Leverkusen's last away game at Stuttgart but this effort from well over 25 yards is well wide.
Can Boniface make an impact?

First foray
Good run by Tella up the right flank. He looks for Boniface in the middle, but a red shirt is there first.
5'
Andrich in the back three
Ex-Heidenheim man Robert Andrich has dropped into the heart of the Leverkusen back three, with Jonathan Tah to his right. Amine Adli and Nathan Tella are the pair playing off Victor Boniface.
1'
Under way!
Can Leverkusen get back to within six points of Bayern or will Heidenheim put some distance between themselves and the bottom two?

Running repairs
But just before we can start, the ground staff are called to fix a gap in the net that Heidenheim will be attacking in the first half.
Out they come
Two teams in desperate need of points for different reasons come out into the Heidenheim sunshine.

Watch: Never write off Leverkusen
Unbeatable on the road in the Bundesliga?
While Leverkusen did lose at Arminia Bielefeld in the DFB Cup semi-finals in midweek, they are now unbeaten in their best 30 Bundesliga away matches. That is both a club and division record, and given they have won each of the three Bundesliga meetings between these two teams, you would expect them to continue that run.

Important clash at both ends of the table
Currently just two points above the relegation zone, Heidenheim remain very much in trouble at the wrong end of the table. They will be looking for a surprise win against reigning champions Leverkusen, who enter the matchday six points adrift of league-leaders Bayern as they look to keep up the pressure on their title rivals.
