How both teams go into Heidenheim vs Chelsea

Heidenheim’s first-ever foray into Europe has been a huge success so far, with three wins from three matches — a record that extends to five in five if qualifying is included. But that has served as a distraction from their domestic troubles, with Frank Schmidt’s side 15th in the Bundesliga and without a win in any of their last six league and DFB-Pokal matches.

Up next is a Chelsea side that have been rampant in the Conference League this season, netting 16 goals in just three group matches. However, the Blues didn’t do so well in their final three domestic games prior to the international break, failing to win any of them. In fairness, they were against Newcastle and Man Utd away and Arsenal at home. Chelsea are still on course for success under Enzo Maresca after beating Leicester in the Premier League.

Heidenheim team news

Heidenheim are dealing with a host of fitness issues right now, but could welcome back Lennard Maloney for this match. Marnon-Thomas Busch and Julian Niehues remain sidelined until December.

Chelsea team news

Several key players have been left out of the Uefa Conference League squad, including talisman Cole Palmer. Chelsea may also be without Malo Gusto and Levi Colwill, who are both major doubts through injury.
