My Prediction
Borussia Dortmund by 1Hold on to your hats, ladies and gents! We're talking Heidenheim versus Borussia Dortmund. Now, don't groan just yet, Heidenheim has the commanding presence of Kevin Müller between the sticks. A 7.25 rating and 15 saves to his name this season; it's clear he's not just there for a quick kickabout. Their key players include Patrick Mainka and Jonas Föhrenbach, both showcasing impressive ratings, with Mainka adding a goal to his name. Can't ignore Leo Scienza, goalscorer with a promising 7.12 rating.
But wait, Borussia Dortmund isn't just twiddling their thumbs here. With Gregor Kobel in goal, they're equipped with a decent guard. Although with a slightly lower rating than Müller, Kobel's not going to wave that white flag without a fight. In the outfield, it's raining ratings in Borussia Dortmund's favor with players like Serhou Guirassy and Jamie Gittens. Guirassy with a remarkable 7.20 rating and Gittens following close behind with 7.08, both having found the back of the net twice this season.
Looking at recent encounters between the two teams, Dortmund has shown they can keep up the pressure, stealing a win and battling to a draw in the last two matchups. Recordwise, Dortmund’s doing a little better this season, although I wouldn’t book a parade just yet.
Most recently, Dortmund had a bit of a tricky run, managing a draw against Werder Bremen and walking away defeated against Eintracht Frankfurt and Holstein Kiel. Heidenheim, on the other hand, didn’t manage to come up on sunny side up against Augsburg and St. Pauli, but did surprise Union Berlin with a neat 2-0 victory.
Now, time for a bit of prediction magic - summon the drumrolls, 'cause I'm seeing a Borussia Dortmund victory, and I'll wager it won't be by a country mile.
