Team News

FC Heidenheim
Borussia Dortmund
  • Julian Niehues has a long-standing ACL injury, while Niklas Dorsch has a knee issue.
  • Niklas Süle will be out for several months with an ankle injury, while Nico Schotterbeck is suspended after his sending off last weekend. Felix Nmecha suffered a knee injury last weekend and is ruled out.

Prediction

  • Dortmund sacked head coach Nuri Sahin after a downturn in form, former Bayern boss Niko Kovac is the new man in charge.
  • After losing six in a row, Heidenheim have started 2025 in slightly better fashion but still remain in the relegation play-off spot.
  • Heidenheim have all week to plot a home win, while Dortmund started 2025 with three successive league defeats and boast a single win in their last eight Bundesliga games.
  • The reverse fixture ended 4-2 in Dortmund's favour but a draw is a good shout here between two struggling sides.
