The upcoming Bundesliga game will see FC Heidenheim and Borussia Dortmund facing off each other at Voith-Arena stadium in Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany. In their previous encounter this season, Heidenheim and Dortmund played a 2-2 draw.
Moreover, Heidenheim are currently in 10th position, while Dortmund are in 4th place. So, the Black and Yellows cannot afford to drop points as Leipzig are breathing down their neck in 5th position.
The 22-year-old German forward Eren Dinkci has been doing well for his side. He has 7 goals in 18 games in the Bundesliga this season.
Niclas Fullkrug (Dortmund)
The veteran German forward is balling out for the Black and Yellows this season. Someone had to step up, and it is none other than the 30-year-old Niclas Fullkrug with 9 goals and 5 assists in just 17 games.
FC Heidenheim have scored in 13 of their last 15 home matches and hasn’t lost in the last 7 games.
Borussia Dortmund have scored in 37 of their last 38 Bundesliga matches and in the last 19 consecutive away matches.
Heidenheim’s Thomas Keller has a cruciate ligament tear, so he won’t play until the season’s final few matches. Benedikt Gimber, another centre-back, got injured during the draw with Hoffenheim.
Dortmund might miss Sebastian Haller again. His Ivory Coast team plays Senegal in the African Cup of Nations last 16. Even if they’re out, it’s too soon for him to play. Ramy Bensebaini’s Algeria team got knocked out in the group stage, but he has a hip issue. Marcos Reus has been sick but might play on Friday.
