1. FC Heidenheim hosts VfL Osnabrück on August 7 for their first 2. Bundesliga match in years. Heidenheim, relegated from the Bundesliga after three seasons, enters the game with most of last season's squad intact, having made only four new signings. Osnabrück returns to the league after winning 3. Liga last term, bolstering their lineup with new players and experiencing management under coach Timo Schulz. Key players Mikkel Kaufmann and Leart Paqarda are sidelined for Heidenheim, while Osnabrück's Jonathan Wensing is absent due to injury. The last competitive meeting in 2021 saw Heidenheim win 2-1, maintaining an unbeaten run against Osnabrück at home since 2011/12.
