Team News

Borussia Dortmund
FC Heidenheim
  • Nico Schlotterbeck is suspended after his red card before the international break, while summer signing Serhou Guirassy is back in training after a knee injury.
  • Giovanni Reyna picked up a knock while on USMNT duty and is doubtful.
  • Thomas Keller is on his way back from a long-standing ACL injury, as is Julian Niehues.

Prediction

  • Frank Schmidt's Heidenheim exceeded all expectations last season in their first ever Bundesliga campaign with a startling eighth placed finish, and have won all five competive games this time around.
  • After finishing fifth last term, Borussia Dortmund are eyeing a much-improved domestic campaign, which was salvaged somewhat by a surprise run to the Champions League final.
  • Both sides are yet to concede this season. Just like the 2-2 draw last term, back Heidenheim to steal a point under the Friday evening floodlights.
