Heidenheim will be aiming to pull off a major upset on Saturday afternoon as they host Bayern Munich in Bundesliga action, looking to bounce back from consecutive defeats to Bayer Leverkusen and Eintracht Frankfurt.
As for league leaders Bayern Munich, the visitors' hopes of lifting the Champions League trophy on home soil were dashed once more, as a lacklustre display saw them crash out of Europe's premier competition.
Despite a 2-2 draw in the second leg, it wasn't enough to overturn the deficit from the reverse fixture, with Serie A heavyweights Inter Milan edging a thrilling two-legged quarter-final clash 4-3 on aggregate.

Team news & squads
FC Heidenheim team news
Heidenheim will be without the services of forward Budu Zivzivadze and wide man Mathias Honsak, both sidelined through injury.
Niklas Dorsch and Adrian Beck are expected to provide support on the flanks for central striker Marvin Pieringer, while Marnon Busch and Jan Schoppner look set to form the engine room in midfield.
At the back, the trio of Patrick Mainka, Benedikt Gimber, and Tim Siersleben are likely to line up in a three-man defence, shielding goalkeeper Kevin Muller.
Bayern Munich team news
The visitors arrive still nursing a lengthy injury list, with several first-team regulars unavailable for the trip. Alphonso Davies, Hiroki Ito, Jamal Musiala, Manuel Neuer, and Dayot Upamecano are all ruled out, leaving Thomas Tuchel with more selection headaches.
In the absence of Musiala, the creative midfield duties could fall to either Raphael Guerreiro or the experienced Thomas Muller, both of whom are in the frame to start in the No. 10 role.
