Dortmund Team News
Anyone who follows German football knows how Dortmund lost the title last season: a draw against Mainz in the last round in front of their fans, and there is no doubt that they are looking to make a breakthrough this season and end Bayern Munich’s dominance.
The “Yellow and Black” played the entire preparatory period without defeat, recording six victories and one draw. This information gains even more importance if you consider that some of the rivals in those triumphs were Ajax and Manchester United.
Dortmund transferred the excellent games from the preparatory period to the first round of the national cup, when they defeated Schott Mainz 6:1. However, the new Bundesliga season looks much more complicated than expected for Dortmund. In the first round, they defeated Koln at home 1:0, with a goal by Malen in the 88th minute of the match, and already in the next game, they recorded their first setback of the season, as they drew with the team that barely secured survival last season, Bochum.

Heidenheim Team News
Like Dortmund, Heidenheim also survived a great drama in the last round of the championship. Still, unlike today’s rival, with success, since with two goals in stoppage time, they reversed the result and reach the Bundesliga.
Heidenheim played preparations at a high level, recording three victories and two draws, of which the triumph over Verona 3:2 in the last friendly match before the start of the season stands out.
However, the “newcomers” in the league did not start the championship in the best possible way. In the season’s opening, Wolfsburg defeated them 2:0 in a match where the host had control of the game and was a much better opponent. Unlike that match, Heidenheim played a much better second gamr at home against Hoffenheim. They had an advantage of 2:0 until the 77th minute when the guests, with three goals in the continuation of the game, managed to reverse the result and leave Heidenheim without points in the Bundesliga.

Dortmund vs Heidenheim Prediction
Dortmund can return to the winning rhythm with a triumph in this match. The games in the first two rounds are not satisfactory, and considering that the host is a class far above Heidenheim, this game is ideal for them to gain confidence before the more difficult duels that follow them in the following rounds.
