Heidenheim (dpa / lsw) - Trainer Frank Schmidt drew a positive interim conclusion for the performance of his 1. FC Heidenheim even before the first half of the season.

"It doesn't feel like the end of the first half of the season, but we have 25 points, that was not to be expected after the change," said the 47-year-old before the 17th matchday on Saturday (13.00 / Sky) at Karlsruhe SC.

After the near-rise last summer, Heidenheim had to give up several top performers.

Schmidt left it open whether there will be newcomers in this winter transfer period.

«You have to see if something is still going on.

If not, that's fine, ”said the coach on Friday.

The away weak Heidenheimers go into the duel at Karlsruher SC, which also has 25 points, with great respect.

“The results show that the team has offensive qualities, they come extremely over the wings.

We have to adapt tactically and personally to the flanks, ”said Schmidt, who has to do without the suspended Kevin Sessa after his red card.
