Both teams will be aiming to bounce back from defeat when Heidenheim host Stuttgart in the Bundesliga on Sunday.
Heidenheim have lost three successive matches, while Stuttgart saw their winning streak come to an end against Hoffenheim.
However, consecutive defeats to Eintracht Frankfurt, Augsburg and Borussia Monchengladbach have seen them edge closer to the bottom three, which is where they will be aiming to avoid finishing to ensure their stay in the top flight is not a brief one.
Eren Dinkci had continued Heidenheim's streak of scoring in every match since losing 2-0 to Wolfsburg on the opening day of the season when levelling the scoreline against Gladbach, but Jonas Fohrenbach's own goal proved enough to hand the hosts all three points on the day.
Frank Schmidt's side were beaten at Borussia Park once again on Tuesday when falling to a 3-1 defeat to Gladbach in the DFB-Pokal, but they will not concern themselves about a lack of progress in the cup should they secure survival come the end of the campaign.
