The home team has already won Olimpija Ljubljana, Paphos, and Hearts in three matches this autumn, so a place in the next round is gradually being sealed. I have to say the opponents have been rather weak. Chelsea, who have scored 16 goals in their 3 matches are of course also big favorites on Thursday. They are in the wrong competition altogether and have shown it fully rotating their squad.

The tiny Heidenheim, coached by Frank Schmidt for a long time, is only two points above the relegation zone in the Bundesliga, meaning that realities are strongly present – ​​it is worth enjoying the Euro season to the fullest because, in the coming seasons, the road could again lead to dimmer spotlights in the worst-case scenarios. Chelsea will be challenged on Thursday from a relatively unpressured position, as with a 5-1 goal difference and nine points, the situation in the league table is safe for the hosts, as well as the visiting Chelsea side. This is a good time to rotate as much as possible, there is an important home game ahead on Sunday v Eintracht Frankfurt.

Team news:

Heidenheim will be without their best striker Marvin Pieringer on Thursday, who was injured in the away defeat to Leverkusen at the weekend. Thomas Keller, Julian Niehues, Marnon Busch, and Luka Janes will most likely continue being unavailable as well.

Chelsea, led by Enzo Maresca, will instead be able to take the autumn Euro games with a relaxed grip, given the level difference. Not all the men on the first-team squad were registered for the autumn Euro contract, but this has not slowed things down much. Chelsea have also been in great form in the Premier League and it seems they are finally returning to the big boys club after big investments.

Team news:

Cole Palmer, Roméo Lavia, Ben Chilwell and Wesley Fofana are not included in the away team's autumn Euro squad. Reece James and Omari Kellyman are injured Levi Colwill, Malo Gusto and Pedro Neto are still question marks for Thursday.

When you have players like Christopher Nkunku, João Félix and Mykhaylo Mudryk on the field, the setup is already a bit unfair. I wonder if Chelsea's winning streak in Europe will continue towards the trophy celebration in the spring!

今年秋天，主队已经在三场比赛中战胜了卢布尔雅那奥林匹亚、帕福斯和哈兹，因此下一轮的席位正在逐渐锁定。我不得不说对手相当弱。在3场比赛中打进16球的切尔西当然也是周四比赛的大热门。他们完全进入了错误的比赛，并充分展示了轮换阵容。

小小的海登海姆，由弗兰克·施密特执教了很长时间，在德甲只比降级区高两分，这意味着现实是强烈的——充分享受欧洲杯是值得的，因为在接下来的赛季中，道路可能会再次导致最坏的情况。切尔西将在周四的比赛中面临压力相对较小的挑战，因为5-1的净胜球和9分，对于东道主和客场的切尔西来说，积分榜上的情况是安全的。现在是轮换出场的好时机，周日还有一场主场对法兰克福的重要比赛。

团队新闻:

海登海姆将在周四失去他们最好的前锋马文·皮林格，他在周末客场输给勒沃库森的比赛中受伤。托马斯·凯勒、朱利安·尼休斯、马农·布希和卢卡·詹姆斯也很可能继续缺阵。

在恩佐·马雷斯卡（Enzo Maresca）的带领下，切尔西将能够轻松地参加秋季欧洲杯，考虑到两队的水平差距。并不是所有一线队的球员都登记了秋季欧洲杯的合同，但这并没有减慢事情的进展。切尔西在英超联赛中也有很好的表现，在大笔投资之后，他们似乎终于回到了豪门俱乐部。

团队新闻:

科尔·帕尔默、罗萨姆奥·拉维亚、本·奇尔威尔和韦斯利·福法纳没有入选客场队的秋季欧洲杯大名单。里斯·詹姆斯和奥马里·凯利曼都受伤了，列维·科尔威尔、马洛·古斯托和佩德罗·内托仍然是周四比赛的问号。

当你有像克里斯托弗·恩昆库、约<s:1>奥·法姆扎利克斯和米哈伊洛·穆德里克这样的球员在场上时，这种设置已经有点不公平了。我想知道切尔西在欧洲的连胜是否会持续到春天的奖杯庆祝！
