Heidenheim

Expected Lineup

Ke. Müller - Traoré, P. Mainka, Gimber, Föhrenbach - Kerber, Schöppner - Wanner, Beck, Krätzig - Zivzivadze

Manager

Schmidt

Bench

Feller, Busch, Keller, Siersleben, S. Conteh, Janes, Negele, Scienza, Theuerkauf, M. Breunig, Honsak, Pieringer, Schimmer

Missing

Dorsch (knee medial ligament injury), Eicher (not considered), Niehues (lagging in training after anterior cruciate ligament rupture), Tschernuth (not considered)

Suspension Threat

Kerber (4 yellow cards), Schöppner (4 yellow cards), Zivzivadze (4 yellow cards)

For the Game

The formation that started against FCA (1:2) will likely start again. Scienza could start on the left; he was ill before the Augsburg game and came on from the bench. However, Krätzig's better defensive play argues against this.

Dortmund

Expected Lineup

Kobel - Ryerson, Can, Anton, Bensebaini - P. Groß - Sabitzer, Brandt - Adeyemi, Gittens - Guirassy

Manager

Tullberg

Bench

Lotka, A. Meyer, Kabar, Mané, Yan Couto, Özcan, Reyna, Wätjen, Beier, Duranville

Suspension Threat

P. Groß (4 yellow cards), Yan Couto (4 yellow cards)

For the Game

Returning Özcan is an alternative for the defensive midfielder position. Can replaces the suspended Schlotterbeck in central defense.
