Coach Dieter Hecking: All eyes in the Bundesliga this weekend will be on the Voith Arena, the league's smallest stadium with a capacity of just 15,000. The venue will host a crucial match that will decide the fate of a few teams in German football. The tight spaces and unique floodlight atmosphere create a distinctive football experience that some find burdensome, while others see it as the perfect backdrop for the intense battle against relegation.

On Friday evening, FC Heidenheim will host bottom side Vfl Bochum, with both teams facing crucial outcomes. A loss for Bochum would mean relegation to the Bundesliga 2, while Heidenheim currently sit 16th, facing a two-legged relegation playoff against the third-placed team from the second division, reports Xinhua.

With only three games remaining this season, both teams' pre-match comments have grown more pointed. "This is our last bullet. The team that keeps its nerves is going to do it," said Bochum striker Philipp Hofmann.
