Bundesliga - Heidenheim also looks at goal difference in the relegation battle
Newcomers 1. FC Heidenheim also want to avoid heavy defeats against the top teams in the Bundesliga. The balance of goals scored and goals conceded could be decisive in the relegation battle, said coach Frank Schmidt ahead of Saturday's visit to cup winners and Champions League participants RB Leipzig (3.30pm/Sky). "The goal difference is worth a point in the end," said Schmidt.
After twelve matchdays, Heidenheim were not only in a better position than direct rivals such as VfL Bochum (10) or Darmstadt 98 (9) because of their eleven points. With a goal difference of minus 9, they also had a clear advantage over the Revierclub (minus 14) and Hessen (minus 18).
While fellow promoted side Darmstadt 98 went down 8-0 at record champions FC Bayern and Bochum lost 7-0 in Munich, Heidenheim only lost 4-2 at the top of the league. The highest defeat of the season so far was the 1:4 at league leaders Bayer Leverkusen.
Even if a defeat is on the cards in a game, you still have to keep an eye on the goal difference, said Schmidt. He demanded "resilience" from his professionals. It could also happen to the FCH to "mess up" the goal difference in a match, said Schmidt. However, his team must do everything possible to avoid this.
