Team analysis: Heidenheim
The Heidenheim team has already secured a place in the play-off phase of the Conference League, but they have a chance to go directly to the round of 16 if they finish among the top eight teams. They are currently only three points behind third-placed Fiorentina.
However, Frank Schmidt’s team is facing serious form problems. In the last seven games in all competitions, they recorded only defeats, including the last two matches in Europe. In that period, they conceded as many as 21 goals, while they scored only six themselves. The situation in the Bundesliga is not much better, where they are in 16th place, third from the back, which further complicates their season.
Although they started the Conference League group stage with three wins, Heidenheim are now suffering from poor defensive reactions, especially at the break. In addition, the home form is disastrous – five defeats and one draw in the last six games at the Voith-Arena, with four games without a goal scored.
The team is weakened by the injuries of Julian Nijehus and Leonard Maloney, which further complicates the situation in the middle of the field. In addition, there is a possibility that striker Sirlord Conteh will not play due to illness.
Team analysis: St. Gallen
St. Gallen are in a fight for the last place leading into the play-offs, which they need to overtake Istanbul Basaksehir, who have a point more. Also, the Swiss have a chance to overtake Real Betis in 17th position, given that they are only three points behind.
However, the loss to Vitoria Guimaraes in the last round was worrying – St. Gallen allowed as many as 30 shots and 10 big opportunities, 21 of which were shots from the penalty area. Enrico Massen’s team has problems with the continuity of form, because in the last seven matches in all competitions they have achieved only one victory, with three draws and three defeats.
They have won three away games in their last five games, but overall their performance away from home is not impressive – five defeats and one draw in their last nine matches.
The team has been weakened by injuries to several key players, including forwards Jovan Milošević and Viljem Goebbels, while Musah Nuhu is out in defense. Gregory Karlen, an important midfielder, will miss the rest of the season, so the team will depend on Gorler, Stevanovic and Konietzke in the midfield.
Betting suggestion: Over 2.5 goals
Both teams enter the match with serious defensive problems, but also with the motivation to achieve a positive result. Heidenheim has a desperate home performance, while St. Gallen records occasional flashes in away games. An open game with a lot of opportunities is expected. Both teams are prone to mistakes in defense, while they have quality individuals in attack. Considering the importance of the game and the weakness in defense, a match with at least three goals is expected.
