Bayern Munich square off against FC Heidenheim with the home side vying to salvage some pride with their Bundesliga supremacy close to being squashed after 11 years.
FC Heidenheim's promotion from the second division of Germany has gone according to plans despite their recent struggles. The home side are 10 points away from the drop zone as they look to stay afloat playing in their maiden campaign in Germany's top flight.
Thomas Tuchel's declaration of the Bundesliga title race being over is the perfect definition of how the Bavarians have struggled throughout this season and how the Bayern dressing room is currently demotivated and in shambles. Despite that, the reigning champions would be aiming to fight till the very end and dampen Bayer Leverkusen's hopes of ending the home side's dominance in the league.
