Borussia Dortmund vs FC Heidenheim Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 1st September 2023

Last season's runner-up Borussia Dortmund continue with their latest attempt for glory by welcoming FC Heidenheim to Signal Iduna Park for a round three match in the Bundesliga this coming Friday.

With four points to show for the first two matches it has been a decent opening to the new campaign for Borussia Dortmund, who aim for three more points this time around.

FC Heidenheim have nothing to show after the two opening rounds of the Bundesliga and will be hopeful of round three bringing some much-needed joy.

Borussia Dortmund arrive at their next Bundesliga match, averaging a fabulous 2.8 goals per game in their last ten matches in which, they scored a delicious total of 28, while also conceding ten goals. That amounts to an average of one per game in which, they kept their opponents from scoring four times.

Having never shared a season in the Bundesliga in recent past, this is the first time Borussia Dortmund comes up against FC Heidenheim in this context.

Borussia Dortmund vs FC Heidenheim Prediction

Borussia Dortmund Form

Borussia Dortmund collected seven points from their last three matches, as they ran out 1-6 and 1-0 winners against TSV Schott Mainz and FC Koln, respectively. Against Bochum, they had to settle for a draw after a 1-1 draw. Borussia Dortmund showed little mercy in their past six matches at the Signal Iduna Park, of which they won five and drew once. Going undefeated, they hit the target 20 times, while letting in five themselves.

Coming in just behind the champions last season, Borussia Dortmund are looking to hit the ground running, and they aim to climb one higher in the rankings this season.

FC Heidenheim Form

FC Heidenheim have only one win in their last three matches, as they did beat Rostocker FC 1895 by 0-8. Disappointment followed, going down 2-0 against Wolfsburg, and 2-3 against Hoffenheim. FC Heidenheim came through their last six away games in the Bundesliga without a single win. Of those six matches, they drew zero and lost one in which, they were outscored by two goals to zero.

The relegation battle is a fiercely contested struggle season after season, and FC Heidenheim is expected to be in the middle of this for the majority of the Bundesliga-campaign.

Borussia Dortmund should be too strong at Signal Iduna Park to drop any points against FC Heidenheim, and combining the home win with over 2.5 goals looks the value bet.
