*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

Heidenheim came close to earning a point at Augsburg last weekend before conceding a crucial late goal, though the underdogs look like decent value at 10/3 to upset out-of-form Dortmund here.

Borussia Dortmund sacked head coach Nuri Sahin after some wretched league form, yet they remain 3/4 favourites to beat relegation threatened Heidenheim at the weekend. You can find more of our free football predictions on our dedicated page.

Player to watch – Omar Traoré

Omar Traoré was an all-action presence when Heidenheim last played Borussia Dortmund in September and alongside making a game-high four tackles, the marauding right back claimed an assist in his team’s 4-2 loss.

Traoré to trouble Dortmund again?

Traoré hasn’t lodge another assist in the Bundesliga since, though he has been averaging a decent 0.90 dribbles and 0.60 key passes per game for Heidenheim – figures that suggest he can make an impression in the final third on Saturday.
