This Friday, Borussia Dortmund and Heidenheim will clash in a thrilling Bundesliga match, both eager to extend their unbeaten runs into the 2024-25 season.
Dortmund’s Unblemished Record
Nuri Sahin has yet to experience defeat as Borussia Dortmund’s manager, though he’s been somewhat frustrated recently. Dortmund was held to a frustrating goalless draw against Bremen, despite winning their previous two matches in the DFB-Pokal and Bundesliga. Sahin’s team showed defensive solidity with consecutive clean sheets, maintaining their unbeaten streak in the Bundesliga. As they face Heidenheim, Dortmund will aim to continue their impressive home form, having secured three straight home wins already this season.
Heidenheim’s Impressive Start
Heidenheim has made a strong start to the season, winning their first five matches across all competitions. Their successful run includes victories in the DFB-Pokal and Europa Conference League qualifiers, along with a solid 2-0 win over St. Pauli and a dominant 4-0 victory in their recent Bundesliga match. Heidenheim has scored six goals while keeping clean sheets, placing them at the top of the Bundesliga table with a perfect record. Despite the challenge of facing Dortmund away, Heidenheim will be hopeful, having drawn both of their encounters with Dortmund last season.
Team Updates
For Dortmund, the good news is that Serhou Guirassy is back in action after a knee injury, and Yan Couto is also fit for selection. However, they’ll be missing Gio Reyna due to injury and Nico Schlotterbeck, who is suspended.
On the other side, Heidenheim faces a few issues with Denis Thomalla and Frank Feller out due to illness and injury. Julian Niehues and Thomas Keller are still recovering from anterior cruciate ligament injuries and will not feature.
This matchup promises to be an exciting one as both teams look to keep their unbeaten streaks alive. Keep an eye on how this game unfolds, as both sides have plenty to play for in this early season showdown.
