The upcoming match in the Bundesliga will feature Dortmund and Heidenheim. The match will take place at the Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund.
Dortmund
Despite being proactive under the new management of Nuri Sahin, Dortmund has yet to impress this season, having produced underwhelming performances in the Bundesliga.
Die Borussen kicked off their campaign with a 2-0 home win over Eintracht Frankfurt before being held to a goalless draw against Ole Werner's Werder Bremen on the road. They occupy a modest fourth place in the Bundesliga table and are two points adrift of their opponents in this impending encounter.
Heidenheim
Heidenheim will be confident of securing a positive result at the Signal Iduna Park, considering they are the only side in the top-flight that has given Dortmund a run of their money maintaining a two match unbeaten run (W1, D1) and won't be fazed about their presence.
For the first time ever, Frank Schmidt's men are enjoying the fruits of their labor as they sit at the pinnacle of the Bundesliga table, making them the 35th different club to top the table. They come into this match boasting a two match winning streak against new comer St. Pauli (2-0) and Augsburg (4-0).
Probable Line-ups
- Dortmund: Kobel; Anton, Sule, Schlotterbeck, Ryerson, Can, Gross, Malen, Sabitzer, Brandt, Bynoe-Gittens
- Heidenheim: Muller; Traore, Mainka, Gimber, Fohrenbach, Maloney, Schoppner, Scienza, Wanner, Beck, Breunig

Prediction
Dortmund have been unconvincing lately with their performance and go up against a side that has won their last two matches on the bounce. Despite being overwhelming favorites, a tight contest should be expected in this one, and both sides should be able to find the back of the net here.
