Heidenheim (dpa / lsw) - The challenge in the DFB Cup at Bundesliga leaders 1. FC Union Berlin should not be an issue for 1. FC Heidenheim at the weekend. After eight games in the 2nd Bundesliga without defeat, Frank Schmidt wants to continue the winning streak on Sunday (1.30 p.m. / Sky) at Holstein Kiel. "We've been unbeaten for a long time now and that should remain the case after the game in Kiel," said the coach on Friday and warned of Kiel's offensive qualities: "We have to defend well, then we also have a chance against Kiel's vulnerability when you lose the ball."
The fourth in the table has to do without midfielder Jan Schöppner due to injury. Only three days after the task in Kiel, a sporting highlight is on the agenda in the second round of the DFB Cup at Union Berlin on Wednesday (8:45 p.m.).
