LiontipsBorussia Dortmund vs Heidenheim. Prediction (odds 2.50) and bets on the Bundesliga match
Command Analysis
Current form
Under the leadership of Nuri Sahin https://www.bvb.de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">, Borussia entered the new season with confidence. First, they recorded a crushing 4:1 victory over Phoenix Lübeck in the German Cup. Then they managed to confidently defeat Eintracht in the first round of the Bundesliga on their home field (2:0). However, in the second round, Dortmund lost points in an away match with Werder (0:0).
Regarding the match against Bremen, we note that Borussia had a significant advantage, made nine shots at the goal, four of which were on target. Niko Schlotterbeck and Waldemar Anton had excellent chances to hit the goal, but their implementation let them down. At the same time, Niko Schlotterbeck was sent off for a second yellow card in the 73rd minute, which did not allow them to “finish off” the opponent in many ways.
After two rounds, the "bumblebees" have not conceded a single goal, which is noteworthy. Interestingly, at the moment, it is Borussia and Heidenheim that have not conceded a goal in the championship, all other teams have allowed their opponents to score at least once. In the standings, Dortmund is in fourth place with four points. It should be noted that, taking into account last season's games, Borussia has an open winning streak of three matches with a total score of 11:1.

Couto and Guirassi are injured.

Current form
Heidenheim became one of the opening teams in the Bundesliga last season, when they finished in eighth place. There were expectations and predictions that they would not be able to show themselves at the start, because the team lost many of its leaders, such as Dinkci, Beste and Kleindienst. However, head coach Frank Schmidt demonstrated the ability to find options and quickly adjust the game taking into account changes. We still have a team that demonstrates a bright and bold game. Moreover, the reserve of strength is enough for both the championship and other tournaments.
In the Conference League, Heidenheim beat Hacken in the qualification (2:1 and 3:2 wins). In the German Cup, they managed to easily beat Willingen (4:0) on class.
In the Bundesliga, Schmidt's men started with a 2-0 away win over St. Pauli. They followed that up with a crushing 4-0 home win over Augsburg. As a result, after two rounds, Heidenheim leads the league table with six points, ahead of Bayern and Leipzig due to their better goal difference. It should be noted that, taking into account the end of last season, the Red-Blues have extended their unbeaten streak in the championship to six matches.
Disqualifications and injuries
Thomas Keller and Julian Niehues are in the infirmary.
Interesting trends for betting
- Heidenheim have not lost by more than one goal in their last 12 Bundesliga away games.
- In 10 of the team's last 12 away matches in the national championship, no more than three goals were scored
- Heidenheim are unbeaten in their last six Bundesliga away games
Probable line-up : Kevin Muller – Jonas Fehrenbach, Benedikt Gimber, Patrick Mainka, Omar Traore – Jan Schoppner, Lennard Maloney, Adrian Beck, Paul Wanner, Leo Scienza – Marvin Piringer.

1.87Tip and bets
At the start of the season, the renewed Heidenheim demonstrates an impressive game, which is definitely not worse than the example of last year. Then, by the way, Borussia could not win in two face-to-face matches - both matches ended in a draw. It is unlikely that today we should expect that Dortmund will easily and effortlessly gain three points - the same Werder managed to contain them. In addition, Schmidt's charges have not lost 12 matches in a row on the road with a difference of more than one goal. We recommend in this pair a betting tip for the bookmakers' underdog.
Our prediction is a Heidenheim victory with an Asian handicap (+1.5) at odds of 1.86
Bet on total
Two rounds are behind us, in which Borussia and Heidenheim did not concede a single goal. In addition, the hosts have noticeable problems with conversion. We believe that we should not expect a goal extravaganza today.
The second bet is total under 2.5 goals with odds of 2.50
Bet on corners
It is clear that Borussia will play the game first, given the advantage in class and the home field factor. It is worth noting that in 11 of the 14 previous matches involving Dortmund, at least 10 corners were taken, which is what we expect this time too.
Betting Tip - total over 9.5 corners with odds of 1.52
