Borussia Dortmund will be looking to bounce back from their disappointing draw against Bochum when they host Heidenheim in the Bundesliga on Friday. Dortmund are currently sixth in the table after two rounds, but they will be looking to close the gap to the five teams above them including defending champions Bayern Munich who have all won the first two matches.
Heidenheim are new to the Bundesliga this season, and they have been tested in their first two games. They will be looking to cause an upset against Dortmund, but they will know that it will be a difficult task. Jonas Wind's brace led Wolfsburg to a win over Heidenheim in their season opener before a 3-2 defeat at the hands of Hoffenheim in their second league fixture.
