Heidenheim faces an immense challenge as they travel to Allianz Arena to take on German champions Bayern Munich. Fresh from a tumultuous Champions League encounter, Bayern will be eager to get back on track in the Bundesliga. The visitors from Heidenheim, currently 18th in the table with 22 points and only three games left to play, are hoping for a sensation.

Vincent Kompany's Bayern demonstrated their world-class level against Paris Saint-Germain, even though they suffered a 5-4 defeat in Europe on Tuesday. This loss ended an impressive streak of 19 unbeaten fixtures across all competitions and nine consecutive wins for the Bavarians.

Bayern's focus has recently been heavily on Europe, as they were already declared league champions on April 19. This relaxed approach to domestic games might explain why they were forced to come back from a 3-0 deficit to beat Mainz 05 4-3 on April 25.

The Munich side has remarkably netted 23 goals in their last six games, scoring at least four goals in nine of their most recent 13 matches. At the same time, their defense has shown vulnerabilities, conceding 13 times in their past five contests and seven in their last four Bundesliga clashes.

The hosts are looking to secure their ninth home outing in a row. A loss at Allianz Arena would be just their second across 23 matches at the stadium. For Heidenheim, it will be crucial to break this impressive home record to secure vital points in their fight against relegation.
