It’s a third straight win for an in-form Augsburg side, who pull four points clear of Heidenheim as they firmly cement their place in mid-table. It was a battle against Heidenheim but ultimately Jeffrey Gouweleeuw's strike proved enough for the Bavarians.

The hosts began with the confidence of a side that won 6-0 last weekend and have dominated a game of few chances. Jan-Niklas Beste went close for Heidenheim with an arrowed shot but it's Jeffrey Gouweleeuw's goal that's the difference at the break.

Augsburg are just a point ahead of Heidenheim going into Matchday 25 and victory for either team here could take them as high as eighth. That would very much put them in the European race, with a potential seven spots up for grabs in the Bundesliga this season.

Augsburg would move onto 32 points with a win. No team with such a tally after 25 games has ever been relegated from the Bundesliga.
