FC Heidenheim - Dynamo Dresden

FC Heidenheim return to the Voith-Arena on 29 August 2026 seeking defensive stability after a turbulent start to the campaign. The hosts face Dynamo Dresden for this matchday 3 encounter following a difficult week that saw them concede five goals in a cup defeat to SSV Jeddeloh. With Frank Feller in goal and Patrick Mainka anchoring the defence, Heidenheim will look to recapture the attacking rhythm that saw them net four times against Osnabrueck earlier this month.

Dynamo Dresden arrive with momentum after a dominant six-goal victory in the DFB Pokal, providing a stark contrast to their league opener against Nuernberg. The visitors, expected to lead with Kaan Inanoglu and Vincent Vermeij, aim to build on their narrow league win over Darmstadt. History between these sides is often tight, as evidenced by their 1-1 draw in February 2022, and both teams will be eager to assert authority in this early season clash.
