Team Analysis
Borussia Dortmund began their Bundesliga campaign with a solid 2-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt, showcasing strong attacking potential, particularly through Jimmy Bynoe-Gittens. However, their subsequent match against Werder Bremen revealed some inefficiencies, as their expected goals were significantly lower. Under the guidance of coach Nuri Sahin, Dortmund has been experimenting with new forwards and tactical adjustments, but injuries have sidelined key players like Jan Couto, Giovanni Reina, and Seru Girassi.

Heidenheim has had an impressive start to the season, currently topping the Bundesliga table. They have been unbeaten in their first two matches and have yet to concede a goal. Their victory over Augsburg, where multiple players contributed to the scoreline, highlights their well-rounded team performance. Despite having to manage both domestic and European competition commitments, Heidenheim has maintained focus and consistency.

Head-to-Head
The teams have met three times previously, with Dortmund not holding a clear dominance over Heidenheim. Their last Bundesliga encounters ended in draws (2:2 and 0:0), suggesting a competitive matchup.

Prediction
While Borussia Dortmund is favored to win, the match could be closely contested. Heidenheim's strong form and unbeaten streak suggest they could challenge Dortmund at home. The game is expected to be open, with both teams likely to score. A 2-2 draw is a plausible outcome, and Heidenheim could secure a result with a handicap advantage of (+1.5). The match is predicted to feature over 2.5 goals, given the attacking capabilities of both teams. Additionally, Dortmund is likely to dominate in corners due to their aggressive attacking style.

Pick: Heidenheim +1.5
