Heidenheim (dpa / lsw) – Coach Frank Schmidt from 1. FC Heidenheim expects another tour de force in the last competitive game of the year. “This is an opponent against whom we definitely have to go to the limit again,” said the coach of the second division soccer club one day before the game against SSV Jahn Regensburg on Saturday (1 p.m. / Sky).

“We played a very good preliminary round,” emphasized Schmidt. Heidenheim have collected 30 points from their previous 16 games. In the table they are once again among the top group. In the past four league games, the Swabians have won three and drawn one. The upcoming winter break is not inconvenient for the coach. “It’s also good that we can charge the battery now,” he said.

After the 4:3 win at SV Sandhausen on Wednesday, there are no major changes in terms of personnel, according to Schmidt. Defender Marnon Busch was hit in the game but can probably play against Regensburg.
