On Friday , Borussia Dortmund hosts early pace-setters Heidenheim at the Signal Iduna Park for Matchday 3 of the Bundesliga season . Both teams come into the game unbeaten, with Heidenheim having surprised many by leading the table after two rounds.

Dortmund started their campaign with a solid 2-0 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt but were held to a goalless draw by Werder Bremen before the international break. New signings Serhou Guirassy and Maximilian Beier are expected to feature in the attack , with Guirassy potentially making his debut after overcoming injury issues. Karim Adeyemi and Donyell Malen will also be pushing for starts, though Gio Reyna remains sidelined with a groin injury. Defensively, Ramy Bensebaini is set to replace the suspended Nico Schlotterbeck, as coach Nuri Şahin looks to continue Dortmund's unbeaten start to the season.

Heidenheim, on the other hand, have been the surprise package of the Bundesliga so far, securing two wins from two matches. After an impressive 4-0 victory over Augsburg and a 2-0 win against St. Pauli, they sit atop the table. Bayern Munich loanee Paul Wanner has been key, scoring in both games, while their defense has remained watertight, being one of only two teams in the league yet to concede this season. Frank Schmidt's side have also performed well in the UEFA Conference League, comfortably navigating the qualifiers with wins over Häcken. 

 Key Players 

Marcel Sabitzer  will be key for Borussia Dortmund. The Austrian midfielder has quickly become integral to Dortmund's system, operating as both a creative force and a midfield enforcer. Sabitzer’s versatility allows him to impact the game in multiple phases, from breaking up play to orchestrating attacks. His ability to shoot from distance and deliver precise passes makes him a threat Heidenheim must be cautious of. 

Borussia Dortmund Brandt has also  been one of Dortmund’s most consistent performers in recent seasons , and his creativity will be essential in unlocking a disciplined Heidenheim defense. Operating primarily in the final third, Brandt's dribbling, vision, and quick decision-making often put him at the heart of Dortmund’s attacking moves. Expect him to be a central figure in their offensive buildup. 

Adrian Beck  will be key for Heidenheim. Beck’s ability to create chances from midfield will be key for Heidenheim as they look to hit Dortmund on the counter. With a strong passing range and the ability to control the tempo, Beck is an important figure in linking the defense to the attack. His performance in midfield will determine Heidenheim's ability to compete with Dortmund’s high-pressing game. 

- Paul Wanner will also be key for them Heidenheim.The young star on loan from Bayern Munich has been in fantastic form, scoring in all four of his appearances this season across all competitions. Wanner’s movement, technical skill, and clinical finishing make him a constant threat. He has quickly established himself as one of the Bundesliga's most exciting young talents, and Heidenheim will look to him for inspiration against Dortmund. 

Jan Schöppner  will also be relied on by Heidenheim. Schöppner’s role as a defensive midfielder is crucial in shielding Heidenheim’s backline. His ability to break up play and transition quickly into attack has been key to their unbeaten start. Against Dortmund’s dangerous midfield, Schöppner’s positioning and tackling will be essential to limit their chances.
