- Competition: Conference League
- Date: 28th November 2024
- Kick-off: 17:45 UTC / 18:45 CET
- Venue: Voith-Arena
Chelsea will be looking to maintain their 100% record in Europe this season when they face Heidenheim at the Voith-Arena in Conference League round 4.
Heidenheim were one of the surprise packages in the German top flight last season. The Dorfklub celebrated their Bundesliga debut with an eighth-place finish and are also making an impressive first appearance in the Conference League. Frank Schmidt's side have won three of their three European matches so far and conceded just one goal in the process.
Chelsea sit third in the English top flight but things are going well in the Conference League. The Blues sit top of the table with a 100% record and have scored eight more goals than any other side in the competition. Enzo Maresca's men were last in action last weekend when they travelled to the King Power Stadium in the Premier League. They ended their two-game winless run in the league with a 2:1 victory over the Leicester City and will be hoping for more of the same this week in Europe.
Heidenheim vs Chelsea Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
Chelsea have had no problems when it comes to scoring goals this season, with the Blues scoring in all but two of their nineteen games across all competitions this season. They scored at least four goals in all their three Conference League matches this season and I fancy that run to continue on Thursday.
Heidenheim can also score goals on a good day. Indeed, the German side scored twice against Leverkusen in the league last weekend and found the back of the net exactly two times in 2 of their three Conference League encounters this season.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
- Heidenheim vs Chelsea prediction: 1-3

Chelsea team news
Reece James was absent last weekend in the Premier League due to a hamstring injury and Thursday’s trip to Germany will come too soon for the captain.
Head coach Enzo Maresca will also be without Cole Palmer, Wesley Fofana and Romeo Lavia who were left out of Chelsea’s UEFA Conference League squad.
