All season long premium subscribers will receive exclusive previews for the upcoming round of Bundesliga fixtures. Today, game week 3 kicks off! There is a top-of-the-table clash, an opportunity for BVB to revive their form, and countless other exciting encounters to keep you entertained.

Borussia Dortmund v FC Heidenheim

Edin Terzic and Borussia Dortmund will be under significant pressure when they kick off the Bundesliga gameweek against FC Heidenheim on Friday. Die Schwarz-Gelben were lucky to scrape a late winner on the opening matchday, and last weekend, they were again fortunate to come away with a 1:1 draw in Bochum. The midfield pivot of Emre Can and Marcel Sabitzer looks far from cohesive, while Sebastian Haller has ghosted across the pitch over the first two gameweeks - registering only 3 shots all season. 

FC Heidenheim will fancy taking their first points of the season against this decimated BVB squad, but it shouldn’t go unnoticed that the Signal-Iduna Park is an absolute fortress on Friday evenings. Dortmund have not lost a Friday evening home match since January 30, 2004 (0:1 vs. Schalke), and since that defeat, they have registered 25 wins and 8 draws.

Prediction: Borussia Dortmund Win
