46′ Into the second half. There are no changes on either side for the time being. Can BVB improve their performance in the second half?
45′ Half time in Heidenheim. A goalless draw at half time. BVB will have to improve significantly in the second half if they want to get three points. Heidenheim throws everything into it to keep at least one point at Brenz.
35′ The game has calmed down a bit again. It remains a game of equals. Will there be another goal before half-time?
27′ Command back. The goal doesn’t count, Malen was offside. It remains 0-0.
26′ GOAL FOR BVB! That’s how football is. Dortmund hasn’t been in the game at all so far. But then Moukoko plays a great pass to Malen, who starts deep and slides in from a tight angle. A goal out of nowhere.
20′ After almost 20 minutes it can be said: Heidenheim started the game much better than BVB. The hosts not only have the (better) chances, but are also much more present than Dortmund. This has been a weak performance from Terzic’s team so far.
17′ And the next good opportunity for Kleindienst. The FCH striker comes free to head the ball after a cross from Beste. Again the ball just flies over the box. BVB has to be extremely careful not to fall behind in this phase.
14′ MEGA OPPORTUNITY FOR HEIDENHEIM! Özcan plays a catastrophic pass in his own penalty area and passes it into Kleindienst’s legs. He actually just has to push it into the empty goal – but misses the box. Great luck for black and yellow!
8th’ Heidenheim has been very present so far. Frank Schmidt’s team won’t avoid a duel, it will be a tough fight for BVB. There were no chances to score on either side.
6′ Black and yellow controlled the first few minutes, but without becoming specific. A quiet start to this game.
1′ BVB opens the game and kicks off.
8:29 p.m.: The host fans have a choreo for their team, the away block has prepared a small pyro show. The atmosphere in the Voigt Arena is good, get into the game…
8:25 p.m.: It will start soon. The FCH stadium announcer reads out the hosts’ line-up and the teams come onto the pitch. Dinner is served.
8:02 p.m.: Terzic warns about the opponent before the game: “It definitely won’t be easy, it will be a tricky game. But if we assert our game, I am very confident,” the BVB coach told “DAZN”. “We learned from the first leg,” emphasizes the 41-year-old.
7:58 p.m.: With a 2-2 draw in the first leg, FC Heidenheim collected its first point in Bundesliga history. It was a used evening for BVB. They led 2-0 after just 15 minutes and only got one point in front of the home crowd. Today Terzic’s team would like to take the full spoils with them to Dortmund.
7:48 p.m.: Also back in the squad: Ramy Bensebaini. The left-back left Algeria early and traveled back to Dortmund during the week. However, position colleague Ian Maatsen is currently ahead. The new signing is in top form in his first weeks at Black and Yellow.
7:47 p.m.: This means that both Mats Hummels and Emre Can remain on the bench for the time being. Just like Kjell Wätjen, who is in the BVB professional squad for the first time. The 17-year-old had already spent the winter preparation with the professionals and traveled to the training camp in Marbella. There he recommended himself for high-level tasks with good performances. Will the Bundesliga debut follow today?
7:37 p.m.: And this is how the FCH runs: Müller – Traore, Mainka, Gimber, Föhrenbach – Maloney, Schöppner – Beste, Pieringer, Dinkci – Kleindienst. With Maloney and Beste, two former Dortmund players are playing against today’s opponents BVB.
7:35 p.m.: Terzic sent this team onto the pitch from the start: Meyer – Meunier, Schlotterbeck, Süle, Maatsen – Özcan, Sabitzer – Malen, Bynoe-Gittens – Moukoko, Füllkrug
7:13 p.m.: While BVB has to do without some key players, captain Emre Can returns to the squad for the first time since the 3-0 win in Darmstadt. Will he be allowed to start again right from the start? We’ll be smarter in just under 15 minutes, then the lineups of the two teams will come out.
6:29 p.m.: The starting position is extremely promising for both teams: the hosts can jump to eighth place with a win and would initially be 14 points ahead of the relegation place. BVB would initially overtake VfB Stuttgart with three points and would be in third place for at least one night. This would mean defending the Champions League place from RB Leipzig (currently fifth).
6:16 p.m.: With Heideheim and Dortmund, two extremely strong teams meet. FCH has been unbeaten in six Bundesliga games, BVB in five games. The last time Heidenheim lost at home was in October (2:5 against Augsburg).
6:00 p.m.: There are still just under two and a half hours until the ball rolls in the Voigt Arena. But even before kick-off there is bad news for the black and yellow team: four key players are out. Gregor Kobel, Julian Brandt, Marco Reus (all with a cold) and Jadon Sancho (muscular problems) are missing coach Edin Terzic in Heidenheim.
