FC Bayern visit 1. FC Heidenheim on Sunday (17:30 CET) - and face opponents who have made notable progress lately. Following two heavy defeats, coach Frank Schmidt changed the formation to make his team more solid and compact. Since then, Heidenheim look more aggressive and clearer in their patterns again - and more awkward to play against. What that means for the upcoming encounter, what principles are behind Schmidt's approach and what the priorities are for the Munich men are revealed in the opposition profile.
A burst down the right from Omar Haktab Traore and a cross to the front post was met by fellow substitute Stefan Schimmer, and a wobbling Union had stumbled. The away side sensed the moment and a corner from Arijon Ibrahimovic, swung in just after the announced four minutes of stoppage time in moments added by Schimmer's goal and its aftermath, was headed in by another sub, Jan Schoppner, to spark pandemonium.
