FC Heidenheim's fairytale run in the Bundesliga marches on as they face a challenging trip to Signal Iduna Park to take on Borussia Dortmund, where they look to defend their position at the top of the table.
Dortmund will aim to secure their second victory of the Bundesliga campaign, marking the third league clash of the 2024-25 season for both teams.
The hosts kicked off their season with a solid 2-0 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt but could only muster a point in a lackluster draw against Werder Bremen and currently sit in fourth place with four points from two rounds.
Meanwhile, the visitors' impressive rise continues without a hitch, as they top the table with six points, following a dominant 4-0 win over Augsburg on September 1 and have claimed victory in all five of their competitive fixtures this season.

Team news & squads
Borussia Dortmund team news
The hosts may opt to feature Filippo Mane in central defense, with Donyell Malen potentially being deployed in a wing-back role.
On the injury front, Dortmund will miss Giovanni Reyna and Kjell Watjen, while there are lingering concerns over the fitness of Serhou Guirassy and Yan Couto. Defender Nico Schlotterbeck will miss the fixture due to suspension and was sent off in the 73rd minute, but at least boss Nuri Sahin can point to the fact his side only conceded one shot after being reduced to 10 men.
