Seeking their first win of the 2023-24 German Bundesliga campaign, FC Heidenheim take a trip to the Signal Iduna Park to face Borussia Dortmund on Friday.
Terzic’s men head into the weekend unbeaten in 18 consecutive matches across all competitions and will look to continue in the same vein.
Borussia Dortmund's early struggles in the Bundesliga continued last Saturday as they could only salvage a 1-1 draw with Bochum.
Prior to that, Edin Terzic’s men needed an 88th-minute effort from Donny Mallen to scrap a 1-0 victory over Koln in the league opener on August 19.
However, with last weekend’s result, Dortmund have now gone 18 straight matches without defeat, stretching back to a 2-0 loss against Leipzig on April 5.
Newly-promoted Heidenheim failed to get up and running in the top flight as they fell to a narrow 3-2 loss against Hoffenheim last Saturday.
This followed a 2-0 defeat against Wolfsburg at the Volkswagen Arena in their Bundesliga curtain-raiser on August 19.
Heidenheim have now failed to win four of their last five matches across all competitions and will head into the weekend looking to avoid a third consecutive defeat for the first time since October 2021.
