El Dorfico in the Relegation: Heidenheim Against Elversberg – Pledge Times

The first leg of the Bundesliga relegation between 1 FC Heidenheim and SV Elversberg will take place Thursday at 8:30 p.m., with the match held in Heidenheim.
This relegation arises as two small clubs compete for a Bundesliga spot, unlike previous years with larger clubs like HSV or Stuttgart, and Spiesen-Elversberg lacks a train station.
Deutsche Bahn commemorated the event by displaying a unique train carriage featuring the message "Our exclusive train dedicated to the Heidenheim vs. Elversberg relegation!" set against a lush natural backdrop, while fans traveling to Elversberg are encouraged to use buses or cars.
Elversberg’s coach Horst Steffen expressed happiness and acceptance of his team’s outsider role, while Heidenheim’s coach Frank Schmidt praised Steffen as "the coach of the year" for building a successful team.
These remarks and preparations suggest a respectful but competitive contest, with Elversberg determined despite lower expectations and Heidenheim coming from a Conference League season.
