Preview: Borussia Dortmund vs Heidenheim Prediction, lineups, betting tips and odds | Bundesliga 2025-26

Two of the last five games between these clubs have ended in a draw.

Borussia Dortmund are going to have a face-off against FC Heidenheim for their matchweek 20 contest of the 2025-26 Bundesliga. This is going to be an interesting fixture, which is scheduled to take place at the Signal Iduna Park.

At home, Borussia Dortmund were completely outplayed by Inter Milan in their UEFA Champions League outing. They will not be fully confident in their next one. They secured a 3-0 win in their previous league game against Union Berlin. BVB are placed second on the league table at the moment and will be keen to secure three more points.

FC Heidenheim are on a poor run of form at the moment and this is going to make their upcoming fixture a tough one. They will be away from home for their next outing. Having won only three of their 19 matches, FCH are in last place on the Bundesliga points table and with this pace, they might even get relegated at the end of the season.

• Location: Aue, Germany
• Stadium: Signal Iduna Park
• Date: Sunday, February 1
• Kick-off Time: 10:00 p.m. IST/ 04:30 p.m. GMT/ 11:30 a.m. ET/ 08:30 a.m. PT

Players to Watch

Maximilian Beier (Borussia Dortmund)

Even though he failed to perform well for his side in the previous UCL outing, Maximilian Beier is going to play an important role both in the midfield and the attacking front for Borussia Dortmund. In 17 Bundesliga appearances this season, he has eight goal contributions.

Stefan Schimmer (FC Heidenheim)

Stefan Schimmer will be looking to step up his game so that he can help his side stand a chance against BVB. He has mostly stepped up as a substitute and is likely to start this time around. In 14 league games of the ongoing season, he has six goal involvements and will be eager to add more to his tally.
