Heidenheim v Chelsea Predictions, Betting Tips, Odds & Offers
Can Chelsea’s perfect start to the Conference League continue in Germany?
Lewis Watson 
So far, so good for Chelsea in this season’s UEFA Conference League.
It may not be the trophy that Enzo Maresca dreamt of lifting as a little boy, but silverware is a precious commodity to English clubs, and the Italian boss will want to strengthen his side’s grip on the top of the standings.
It’s a trip to Heidenheim, Germany, for a 17:45 kick-off on Thursday night.
With three wins from three also in the competition, the hosts won’t be looking to roll over and have their tummies tickled by Chelsea’s B-team.

Heidenheim v Chelsea Predictions
Heidenheim v Chelsea Match Preview
With three wins, nine points and a staggering 16 goals scored so far, Chelsea are finding life in the UEFA Conference League pretty easy going.
It’s the only European title that the Blues are yet to get their hands on and they have made a fast start out of the traps to prove their odds-on 10/11 (with Betfred) price of lifting the trophy in May.
Blues boss Enzo Maresca has managed to do, so far, what many managers have tried and failed to do in south-west London: manage a big, competitive squad of talent that all want minutes under their belts.
His approach of playing a “B-team” in Europe has paid dividends so far, but when you consider the names of these players include Joao Felix, Christopher Nkunku and Mykhailo Mudryk, perhaps an A minus-team would be more appropriate.
Heidenheim have made a handy start themselves to the competition, beating Hearts, Pafos and Olimpija so far, but lying down in 15th in the Bundesliga is probably a fairer reflection of their threat as a whole.
Chelsea’s B-team more than a match
Chelsea are averaging 5.3 goals a game so far in the Conference League, and although we don’t expect that to continue in their hardest fixture so far (on paper), the Blues should still be too strong in Germany.
The hunger to impress is evident in these European fixtures throughout the squad, and an early goal in Heidenheim may well get the ball rolling for another one-sided evening.
Chelsea have scored in all but two of their games this season and the hosts have conceded a leaky 20 goals in 11 Bundesliga matches, so take Chelsea to score over 2.5 goals at 7/5 with LiveScoreBet.
Mudryk to continue his turn in form
Ukrainian winger Mykhailo Mudryk will be expected to get the nod on Chelsea’s left flank again on Thursday night as he knocks on Maresca’s door for more opportunities.
He scored a screamer in Chelsea’s 8-0 win over Noah and has looked bright in cameo appearances since for club and country.
Chelsea to win, Mykhailo Mudryk to score or assist & Chelsea most corners is boosted at Betfred from 11/4 to 7/2 and is well worth a look.
