FC Heidenheim is striving to avoid relegation from the Bundesliga by facing Bayern Munich. Despite being at the bottom of the table, they are determined to continue their recent comeback efforts.
🚨 Need a miracle? Heidenheim are doing all they can against Bayern
In the match against the already-crowned champions and Champions League semi-finalists from Munich at the Allianz Arena, they are looking to continue the comeback they started in recent weeks - an impossible task for the team at the bottom of the table? Apparently not at all!
In fact, Frank Schmidt’s team are currently taking the next step toward a miracle.
At one point, the club many had already written off was deservedly leading 2-0 away to the German record champions.
In the 22nd minute, it was - of course - Budu Zivzivadze who reacted quickest after a deflected corner and hit the ball on the volley from close range toward goal. It bounced in off the inside of the post to Heidenheim’s delight.
After that, the seemingly all-powerful Bayern looked completely rattled, allowing Eren Dinkci to make it 2-0 for his side just under ten minutes later after a long ball.
Shortly before half-time, however, Leon Goretzka gave Munich a sign of life and pulled one back to make it 2-1 at the break with a pretty spectacular goal.
What is clear, though, is that Heidenheim remain firmly on the much-talked-about miracle path, while Bayern seem to be wobbling after that crazy first leg of the Champions League semi-final in midweek. But one thing is also clear: just last week, Kompany’s team came back from 3-0 down at half-time against Mainz 05 and still won in the end. And things do not look quite as grim right now as they did last weekend.
FC Heidenheim's chances of avoiding relegation are slim but they are actively working to improve their situation.
Frank Schmidt is the coach of FC Heidenheim, and he is implementing strategies to rally the team for a comeback.
FC Heidenheim is looking to build on their recent performances, but facing Bayern Munich poses a significant challenge.

You should not count your chickens before they hatch, and Munich still have enough time left to completely turn things around.
If Heidenheim can keep up the pace and actually win at Bayern, then relegation to the second division will at least be off the table for this weekend, and they will have once again pulled their heads out of the noose for the time being.
