As of the fourth round, the team occupies the 6th position in the standings.

Before the start of the fourth round, the Londoners sit at the top of the Conference League table with the best goal difference among all teams in the competition – 16:3.

Heidenheim vs. Chelsea: Match Prediction
The German club has played just five matches in the 2024/25 Conference League and has already scored 10 goals. Moreover, the team from Germany has found the net in every match of this tournament. However, Heidenheim has also conceded four goals, three of which came during the Conference League qualifiers.
Chelsea's performance in the Conference League is impressive in terms of scoring. Enzo Maresca's side has netted 19 goals in five matches. In away games of the Conference League, the Londoners are also proactive, scoring 5 goals in two away games. However, their defense has been less solid, failing to keep a clean sheet in 3 of their last 4 matches in this tournament. The only team that didn't score against the Londoners in this period was the modest Noah.
I believe the Bundesliga representative will manage to score against the English side, who are not fully committed in this tournament. And there is no doubt that Chelsea will score themselves. Therefore, my prediction: Both teams to score – yes
