Heidenheim and Chelsea are set to clash in Germany as they both aim to maintain their flawless records in the Conference League’s league phase on Thursday.
Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea side has been dominant in Europe, scoring 16 goals in their three league phase matches. Meanwhile, Heidenheim, a surprise qualifier for the competition, has also been impressive with three wins out of three games.
This will be the first competitive meeting between Heidenheim and Chelsea, with both teams boasting strong lineups. However, Heidenheim will be without their top Bundesliga scorer Marvin Pieringer due to injury.
Legendary Heidenheim manager Frank Schmidt will need to come up with a tactical plan to counter Chelsea’s star-studded lineup. On the other hand, Chelsea might be missing Pedro Neto and Reece James for the match.
Chelsea is expected to make significant changes to their starting XI, but they still have a strong squad. Despite Heidenheim’s strengths, Chelsea is predicted to come out on top with a 3-1 victory.
The match will be broadcasted on various TV channels and live streams in different countries, providing fans with the opportunity to witness this exciting encounter.
