Unbeaten Bayern Face Injury-Hit Heidenheim in a Tough Bundesliga Test
So here’s what’s happening in the Bundesliga right now, and it’s a classic case of giants versus strugglers. Bayern Munich, still unbeaten and flying high at the top of the table, are heading to the Voith-Arena to take on FC Heidenheim, a side that’s been battling injuries and inconsistency all season. On paper, it looks like a mismatch, but as we know, football rarely sticks to the script.
Bayern come into this game in absolute control of the league. After 14 matches, they’ve racked up 12 wins and just two draws, and what really jumps out is the goal tally. Fifty-one goals have already been scored by Bayern, which says everything about how ruthless they’ve been. A huge part of that has been Harry Kane, whose impact has been nothing short of extraordinary. Eighteen league goals have already been delivered by the England captain, which, remarkably, is more than the entire Heidenheim squad has managed combined. That statistic alone tells you how dominant Bayern’s attack has been.

Heidenheim, on the other hand, are facing this fixture at a difficult moment. Injuries have piled up, and several key players have been sidelined for long stretches. The absence of important names has been felt week after week, and depth has clearly been stretched. To make matters worse, doubts remain over the fitness of a few others, meaning the team may not even be at full strength for this showdown. Against the league leaders, that’s far from ideal.
That said, the home side will be clinging to belief. The Voith-Arena has seen its share of surprises, and Heidenheim have shown before that they can be stubborn, physical, and hard to break down on their day. A compact shape is expected to be used, with an emphasis on discipline and counter-attacks, because trying to go toe-to-toe with Bayern usually ends badly.
Bayern themselves aren’t without issues. A few notable absences have been forced on Vincent Kompany, with injuries and suspensions affecting parts of the squad. Manuel Neuer remains out, so responsibility at the back has been handed to his replacement, while Jamal Musiala is still working his way back to full fitness. Even so, the depth available to Bayern is frightening, and quality can be introduced from the bench without any real drop-off.
