Diehl!
Mittelstädt passes the ball again to Diehl, who slips after taking the ball, but quickly gets up again and shoots after a short dribble. The shot is blocked.

Stuttgart look content
VfB are now allowing Heidenheim to come at them more, but they don't look dangerous enough. Can the home side pull one back?

Goal probability
Goal probability
Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.
Distance to Goal
Distance to Goal
The distance to goal is measured at the time of the shot - from the position of the ball to the center of the goal.
84'
Penalty for Stuttgart
After a throw-in by Vagnoman, Woltemade wins the ball for Keitel, who is brought down in the area by Kaufmann. The referee points to the spot - and books the Heidenheim player.

On the front foot
After that flurry of substitutions, Heidenheim are pressing for the equaliser. Schöppner conjures an incisive pass to he left and finds Honsak, who goes one-on-one with Nübel. The keeper storms out of his goal, makes himself big and saves the shot for a corner.

Tactical foul
Dorsch brings Rieder down just outside the Stuttgart box and is shown a yellow card.
74'
Danger!
Nübel takes three bites but fails to control Dorsch's corner. It falls for Gimber, who cuts it back into the mix only for Karazor to clear emphatically.

Inches!
Schöppner conjured a fine pass to Honsak on the left, and he plays the ball flat back to the centre. Kaufmann, who is sliding in, is just short.
67'
Play is stopped
Karazor and Kaufmann clash in an aerial challenge, with the Heidenheim player hitting the Stuttgarter with his arm. Karazor is treated briefly but is able to continue.

The need for speed

In the way
Führich carves out half a yard in the area and looks to hit a trademark right-footed curler to the far post, but instead his effort crashes off rangy team-mate Woltemade...

Denied
Honsak bursts into the box from the left and shoots, but his effort is blocked by Chabot.

Pressure
It's all Stuttgart at the moment, and although Heidenheim are managing to hold them at bay, how long can they keep it up? The home side need to get on the front foot.
55'
Führich brings the danger
The left winger sends a dangerous ball in to the far post, and although it eliminates the bulk of the defence, Honsak is on hand to clear. That was close!
52'
Millot denied a second
Involved in both of Stuttgart's goals so far, Woltemade is proving a real handful for Heidenheim. Here he conjured a defence-splitting through-ball for Millot, who races into the box. Two defenders track him well, hwoever, and his shot is not a problem for Müller.
50'
Kaufmann shows intent
From the ensuing clearance, Heidenheim's new man decides to do ti all himself, breaking on the right and beating two men in the area before his shot is blocked. Almost amazing!
49'
Stuttgart get back to work
After a choppy start to the second half, Stuttgart begin to press and win a corner. Stiller takes and his looping ball is easily punched clear by Müller
46'
We're back!
Just one change as Heidenheim kick the second half off, with Schmidt bringing Kaufmann on for Scienza in a bid for increased attacking impetus.
Kick-off!

Millot nods home!
In the right half-space, Vagnoman is afforded plenty of time to conjure a superb cross that just beats the leaping Mainka and falls for Millot, who produces a reflex header that beats Müller easily. Stuttgart are back in front!

Counter-attack!
Heidenheim win possession in the middle and look to break.Scienza is released on the left and beats his man, but his touch drags him out to the left flank and the move breaks down.
38'
No takers
Führich loops a central free-kick to the left-hand post, but the home defence gets to it first and they clear for a corner, which leads to nothing.
38'
Settle down
The Stuttgart coach is sanctioned for overdoing his protest of a refereeing decision.

Stopped short
Millot has his head up in the centre circle and wants to play quickly, Wanner runs into his heels abd concedes the foul.

No problem
Führich picks up the ball on the left of the penalty area and dribbles towards Scienza. He tries to cut the ball back from the byline, but it's too goalward and Müller grabs it easily.
27'
Dual yellows
As Woltemade bursts into the box, he and Gimber collide - the referee judges it to be a case of an attacking foul and remonstration and it's yellows all around.
23'
Behind again
Heidenheim have now conceded the opener in five of their last six home games, and have only taken the lead at home on one occasion – against Augsburg on Matchday 2.

Wanner fouled again
Stuttgart are clearly under instructions to keep a tight leash on Wanner. The fit-again teenage play-maker has already been fouled a number of times.
16'
Heidenheim have their say
The home side are putting together a nice little period of possession here, managing to keep the ball near the Stuttgart goal with three corners in quick succession, but without any real danger so far.
13'
Vagnoman has a shot
Stuttgart work the ball forward quickly and right-back Vagnoman is played into some space on the outside of the area. He tries his luck but, with his weaker left foot, the effort is no trouble for Müller despite being on target.
10'
First yellow of the match
Stuttgart's top scorer bridles under some close attention from his marker and puts a little too much into shaking him off.
9'
On the ball
Stuttgart are slowly building dominance in the match, moving the ball well in midfield - but without troubling the home defence too much as of yet.
5'
Dorsch fires
Heidenheim push forward and win it high up the pitch, with Dorsch carving out some space to have a crack from just outside the area - but his shot is blocked by the wary Stuttgart defence.
3'
First attacking move
Woltemade drives the ball into Heidenheim's box with close control on the left and attempts to dribble further, but is disposessed.

We're under way!
Stuttgart, all in white, kick off against hosts Heidenheim in their familiar red kits.

Stuttgart only picked up one point against Heidenheim last season, that was the fewest of any team they faced in their runners-up campaign.
