Borussia Dortmund vs Heidenheim – Expected Lineup and Team Updates

Borussia Dortmund will look to bounce back after their recent European defeat when they take on relegation-threatened FC Heidenheim at Signal Iduna Park on Sunday.

The Bundesliga team is recovering from a 2-0 loss to Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday. They see this match as a great chance to regain their momentum.

Before the setback against Inter, Niko Kovac’s squad had enjoyed a strong run in domestic matches, with a 3-0 victory over Union Berlin away, a win against St. Pauli at home, and a comfortable defeat of Werder Bremen.

Dortmund is currently unbeaten in 12 Bundesliga matches and has scored at least three goals in each of their last four league games.

Dortmund’s squad is in fairly good condition, though Kovac might adjust his lineup. Centre-back Waldemar Anton is doubtful due to illness, while midfielder Marcel Sabitzer is still recovering from a calf injury and missed the match against Inter.

If they’re unavailable, Gregor Kobel is expected to start as goalkeeper, supported by a back three of Emre Can, Nico Schlotterbeck, and Ramy Bensebaini, with Julian Ryerson and Daniel Svensson as wing-backs.

In central midfield, Jobe Bellingham and Felix Nmecha are likely to play, with Maximilian Beier and one of Karim Adeyemi or Julian Brandt assisting in attack. Up front, Serhou Guirassy, who has scored six goals in 18 appearances this season, will lead the line.
