Hamburger SV vs 1. FC Heidenheim

The match between Hamburger SV and 1. FC Heidenheim is the 980th matchup in Bundesliga history. In the 2. Bundesliga, HSV hasn't lost any of its last five duels against FCH (W3 D2), following three consecutive defeats.

1. FC Heidenheim is bottom of the Bundesliga table for the third time – last season, they followed that up with a 1-1 draw at Hoffenheim and a 3-1 victory against Holstein Kiel. Hamburger SV has lost all of its last three home games against bottom-placed teams (most recently a 0-2 loss to 1. FC Köln in January 2018) – no club in Bundesliga history has ever had a longer home defeat streak against a bottom-placed team.

Hamburger SV, currently second to last in the table, hosts bottom-placed 1. FC Heidenheim. For the first time, 1. FC Heidenheim started a season in one of Germany's top three leagues with three defeats, while Hamburger SV began the season with three Bundesliga games without a win (D1, L2) for the eighth time this millennium – only VfB Stuttgart has done this more often (10).

Hamburger SV failed to score in the first three games of a Bundesliga season for only the second time since 2014/15 – back then, they only scored their first goal in the sixth game of the season. HSV last went three consecutive goalless competitive games like this in September 2018.

Hamburger SV and 1. FC Heidenheim have both had just six shots on goal this Bundesliga season, the lowest in the league. HSV also had the lowest expected goals (1.3), while FC Heidenheim had the second-lowest (2.1).
