Bundesliga - Promoted Heidenheim travels to Mainz for the basement duel

With a win at FSV Mainz 05, 1. FC Heidenheim wants to keep a direct competitor in the fight to stay in the league at bay and improve its poor away record so far. The promoted team from the eastern Swabian Alb has only picked up one point away from home in the Bundesliga so far - a 2-2 draw at Borussia Dortmund in September. He expects an intense game in Mainz on Saturday (3.30 p.m./Sky) without a long feeling-out period, said coach Frank Schmidt. The Rheinhessen side are penultimate in the table ahead of the 15th matchday, while Heidenheim are 13th.
