Last week Dortmund beat Bochum badly and in the Bundesliga opener this week they will still face another weak team and this time the opponent will be Heidenheim. In terms of squad depth, it is clear that Dortmund is far superior and currently of course Dortmund wants to maintain its chances of not being knocked out of the top 4 again. This will be Dortmund's fourth consecutive win if they can beat Heidenheim away from home.
However, Heidenheim will probably still make it difficult for Dortmund to win because in the last 3 matches Heidenheim only got a draw and that will certainly be quite detrimental for Dortmund if the match ends in a draw. Dortmund has to be careful not to concede a single goal and they have to strengthen their defense. They must win with a landslide score and this week they will still be quite safe from being chased by Leizpig, who currently have a 3 point difference from Dortmund.
Talking about Dortmund defense, I will never doubt it because what I know is that Dortmund can always have a very strong defense, only the attack line is less consistent.
Heidenheim and Dortmund have only met twice and the last match ended in a draw but that has passed and currently Dortmund condition is different from before, a little more consistent.
To bet on this match I have a prediction that Dortmund will win narrowly or if not it will have the same result as before ending in a draw.
I hope Dortmund remains consistent in getting 3 points because even though they are 3 points different from Leipzig, Dortmund's position is not safe and must continue to increase the number of points.
Edin Terzic doesn't want his club to have a bad reputation this season and will try to take his club to the next level.
We can't expect much from Dortmund's attack line because we only have Julian Brandt and Niclas Füllkrug left in this option. But the previous victory was also thanks to a hat trick from Niclas Füllkrug and I think this striker will be more motivated in this match because he managed to contribute many goals previously. Karim Adeyemi, who usually fills in as the left winger, is also still absent due to injury, plus Sebastien Haller is also still absent from representing his country at AFCON, so winning by a narrow score is enough for Dortmund to secure full points.
Well, what is clear is that this is not a difficult thing for Dortmund and perhaps it is true that Edin Terzic has to bring his team back to win the hearts of its fans after a fairly bad start to the season and this time he has to provide consistent performances for Dortmund with the available squad.
