Last week’s victory away to Stuttgart has given Heidenheim hope. They now have 25 points, just five behind what would be a sensational direct escape from relegation. Let’s be clear, it will be very difficult, but not impossible.
In the meantime, they need to win. And then hope that the others don’t do the same. Perhaps this could be the turning point, given that Bochum are already relegated and have no chance of escaping the quicksand of the table. At best, the visitors can aim for third from bottom, which would give them a chance to go to the playouts. But this seems impossible to us because Heidenheim has built almost all of its points at home and, as mentioned before, the victory on the very difficult pitch in Stuttgart has sparked a sensational enthusiasm that is difficult to contain at the moment.
Bochum not only squandered their last chance by losing four games in a row at the crucial moment of the season, but above all by failing to go beyond a home draw against Union Berlin on Easter weekend. Yes, that was really the end of all hopes, which instead were rekindled on Easter Sunday for the hosts. They are therefore ready to take another victory that would further increase their chances of survival.
