Hertha Berlin - FC Heidenheim

Marten Winkler will be looking to carry his goalscoring form into this 2. Bundesliga fixture as Hertha Berlin host FC Heidenheim at Olympiastadion. Winkler was on target in their 0-1 away victory against Bochum on 7 August, a result that sets a positive tone for the season. The expected starting XI for Hertha suggests a forward-thinking approach, with Sebastian Groenning and Josip Brekalo also anticipated to feature in the attacking third.

FC Heidenheim arrive having been involved in a high-scoring encounter on the opening matchday, a 4-3 home win over Osnabrueck. Their attacking prowess was evident, with multiple forwards expected to line up again. This fixture represents a chance for Heidenheim to establish themselves early in the campaign, but they face a Hertha side that has already shown its ability to secure points on the road.
