1. Heidenheim

Long-serving head coach Frank Schmidt has almost a full-strength squad at his disposal for the final stretch.
Ex-Bayern midfielder Niklas Dorsch is suspended after picking up five yellow cards.
Budu Zivzivadze has missed the last few games, but if the striker is fit he will likely start up front with Marvin Pieringer.
VfL Bochum

Ibrahima Sissoko is available after suspension and will likely displace Mats Pannewig or veteran Anthony Losilla in midfield.
But barring late injuries, boss Dieter Hecking will likely keep faith with the bulk of the side that has fallen off a cliff since shocking Bayern recently.
