1. FC Heidenheim 1846 vs TSG 1899 Hoffenheim — head-to-head

All-time storyline

In Bundesliga history, TSG Hoffenheim lead 1-0 against Heidenheim. Their only meeting so far produced a five-goal thriller in March 2026, with Heidenheim winning 4-2 on the road. Hoffenheim struck twice in the first half through André Silva and Ermedin Demirović to level the contest, but goals from Jan-Niklas Beste and Tim Kleinbinck before half-time swung momentum decisively. The hosts rallied briefly through Christoph Baumgartner late in the second period, but substitute Bence Dárdai restored Heidenheim’s two-goal cushion. Hoffenheim’s lone late response came from Ihlas Bebou, insufficient to force a result. The match stands as Heidenheim’s first competitive victory at Hoffenheim’s ground. Today, the rivalry remains embryonic, with a single fixture shaping perceptions between two clubs separated by just 90 minutes and the Neckar.
