Dortmund vs Heidenheim prediction

After picking up a comfortable 2-0 win over Frankfurt in their season opener, Dortmund were frustrated by a dogged and determined Werder Bremen side who held them to a goalless stalemate on matchday 2. Although the draw kept their unbeaten start to the campaign intact, coach Şahin will no doubt feel like there’s work to be done if BVB are to reclaim their customary top-four Bundesliga spot, especially with just two senior centre-backs now available.

Heidenheim continued their red-hot start to the season as they thrashed Augsburg 4-0 at Voith-Arena to move up to top spot in the Bundesliga for the first time in their history. Frank Schmidt’s men have now won five games from five in 2024/25 across all competitions and there is excitement buzzing within the team thanks to this morale-boosting start, building on a dream debut season where they finished 8th and qualified for Europe

Goals have been a steady diet in games featuring these teams. Heidenheim in particular have been scoring goals for fun to start the season. We anticipate and open ended encounter here and we are backing at least 3 total goals to be scored as our opening Dortmund vs Heidenheim prediction for this game

Statistics for Borussia Dortmund vs Heidenheim Prediction

Team News Borussia Dortmund

• Injury Report: Kjell Watjen is ruled out due to a knee injury, while Serhou Guirassy is a doubt but is close to a return
• Suspended: Defender Nico Schlotterbeck is out of this match after getting dismissed against Werder Bremen last time for a second yellow card after bringing down Justin Njinmah on the edge of the Dortmund penalty area in the 73rd minute. Bensebaini is likely to take his place
• Lineup change? Bynoe-Gittens has put up a case for inclusion in the starting XI with eye-catching performances to start the season, particularly against Eintracht Frankfurt. Coach Şahin has been tight-lipped about this but is expected to make a call soon

• New arrivals Paul Wanner, Leonardo Scienza, and Maximilian Breunig have continued to impress for Heidenheim and they are expected to maintain their place as starters for this game
• Settling in: Bayern Munich loanee Paul Wanner has been a key part of their success with key plays from midfield. He has produced four goals and two assists in his first four competitive outings in 2024/25 and they will be counting on him to continue with this output here
