FC Union at the table to sixth Heidenheim (18.30, live on Sky) next to the more defensive-oriented midfielder Grischa Prömel and its potential representatives of Nicolai Rapp (both yellow locked). Parensen, the trained after having overcome his flu-like infection that is currently on the six-position, would be a possible replacement candidate if coach Urs Fischer will act on the Ostalb rather defensive.
