Heidenheim
In Matchday 3 of the Conference League, the German club defeated the Scottish side Hearts (2-0). Heidenheim is one of seven teams that have not yet lost in the current tournament. Moreover, Frank Schmidt's team boasts one of the best defenses, conceding only 1 goal in the last three matches of the Conference League. As of Matchday 4, the team is in 6th place in the standings.
- Heidenheim has won their last 5 matches in this tournament.
- The club has scored at least 2 goals in 4 of their last 5 matches in the Conference League.
- No more than 3 goals have been scored in 4 of Heidenheim's last 5 matches in this tournament.
Chelsea
In the previous round of the Conference League, Enzo Maresca's side thrashed Armenian club Noah (8-0). The club is very confident in this tournament: the English team has won all three matches in the group stage. Before the start of Matchday 4, the Londoners top the Conference League table with the best goal difference among all teams in the tournament – 16:3.
- The club has won 4 of their last 5 matches in the Conference League.

Heidenheim vs. Chelsea: Match Prediction
The German club has played only 5 matches in the 2024/25 Conference League and has already scored 10 goals. Additionally, the team from Germany has found the net in every match in this tournament. However, Heidenheim has also conceded four goals, three of which came during the Conference League qualifiers.
Chelsea showcases impressive scoring ability in the Conference League. Enzo Maresca's team has scored 19 goals in five matches. In away matches of the Conference League, the Londoners do not sit back – they have scored 5 goals in two away games. However, their defense is less impressive – in 3 of their last 4 matches in this tournament, Chelsea failed to keep a clean sheet. The only team not to score against the Londoners during this stretch was the modest Noah.
I believe the Bundesliga representative will manage to score against the English side, who are not giving their all in this tournament. As for Chelsea, there is no doubt they will find the net. Therefore, my prediction: Both teams to score – yes
