45+3
21:20
Mid-term conclusion:
St. Pauli leads 1-0 at the break in Heidenheim. The leadership is somewhat happy. The Heidenheimer are actually field-determining and also have the better opportunities. But Kleindienst forgives several times from a promising position. Unlike the Kiezkicker. They immediately use their first top-class player to score the opening goal. How do Heidenheim, who are strong at home, react now? Will you come back again?

Here we go! Referee Christian Dingert releases the game. St. Pauli toasts.
20:20
Ever since Fabian Hürzeler took over as coach at FC St. Pauli, things have been going well for the Kiezkicker. So far, St. Pauli is unbeaten under the new coach and has won nine out of nine games in the league. Most recently, the fourth in the 2nd Bundesliga won 1-0 against Jahn Regensburg and is FCH’s first pursuer with 44 points. If they manage to win again today, Hamburg could have hopes of promotion again.
20:10
Heidenheim is unbeaten in the league for seven games. In addition, head coach Frank Schmidt’s team has been unbeaten at home for 13 games. This is top of the league. Most recently, however, after a 2-0 lead, there was a 2-2 draw against Lautern. The FCH still had to make everything clear with a penalty in the final phase. That failed and the promoted team scored in added time to equalize 2:2. With 51 points, the boys from the Ostalb are in third place. A win today against FC St. Pauli, who are fourth in the 2nd Bundesliga, could take back second place from Hamburger SV and increase the gap to fourth to ten points.
19:59
The guest head coach Fabian Hürzeler also relies on almost the same starting formation as in the 1-0 win against Jahn Regensburg. Hürzeler changes only once. For Smith (hip flexor problem, not in the squad) Dzwigala is on the field today.
19:46
Heidenheim’s head coach Frank Schmidt only made one change from the starting XI after the 2-2 draw against Kaiserslautern last Saturday. Thomalla is on the starting grid for Sessa today.
19:29
Welcome to the Saturday evening game of the 27th game day in the 2nd Bundesliga in the 2022/23 season. 1. FC Heidenheim welcomes FC St. Pauli at 8.30 p.m. Referee Christian Dingert directs the game.
