Friday's top match in the 2. Bundesliga sees 1. FC Heidenheim travel to face VfL Wolfsburg. The clash between third and fifth place offers the visitors a chance to close the gap to the top of the table.
Heidenheim sit third with 14 points from seven games, seven points behind leaders Hertha BSC. Frank Schmidt's side arrives after a 0-0 draw with 1. FC Kaiserslautern and aims to extend a positive run of two wins and two draws from their last five matches. The last meeting with Wolfsburg ended in a 1-1 draw back in January.
