Dorsch returns
Niklas Dorsch returns to the Voith Arena, having previously spent two years at Heidenheim between 2018-2020 after joining from Bayern. Dorsch joins from today's opponents Augsburg, where he made 63 Bundesliga appearances over three years.
Derby day
Both sides come into this early season derby having gained something from their opening game. Heidenheim started with a win and a clean sheet against Bundesliga new boys St. Pauli, while Augsburg drew 2-2 at home to Bremen.

Europe again?
After last year's heroics, Heidenheim fans may not be expecting their side to do the same again this year, but the players will certainly be hoping to match their previous achievement. The loss of key men Tim Kleindienst and Jan-Niklas Beste may have also worried fans, but loanee Paul Wanner helped to easer those fears with a debut goal to top off a solid performance from the team.

Home disappointment
Having gone 2-1 up against Bremen in their opening game, Augsburg will be disappointed not to have held onto all three points at home. Jess Thorup's side now head to Heidenheim, who started their season with a win, hoping the get their season up and running.
