Prediction for Heidenheim vs St. Gallen
Haydenheim, known as the "Red and Blues," made their Bundesliga 1 debut last season, finishing 8th, edging out two teams on goal difference. "Espen" is a long-time fixture in Swiss football, and last season they achieved a solid result, finishing in the top 5.
Both teams now have the chance to compete in the Conference League (although they are both experiencing a downturn in their national leagues since the summer break). For the Germans, this is their first-ever appearance in European competitions. Their winning streak was broken only by Chelsea in November. Before that, under Frank Schmidt’s guidance, they secured victories over Häcken (twice in qualifying), Olympija, Pafos, and Hearts. However, they were defeated 1-3 by Istanbul in the last round.
St. Gallen were only solid during the qualifying stage. While they secured two wins against Tobol, they lost to Ślęza in Poland after a 2-0 home victory, and they progressed past Trabzonspor via penalties after two draws. In the main round, they won against Larnaca and drew with Bačka Topola, but lost to Cercle Brugge, Fiorentina, and were crushed 1-4 by Vitória Guimarães.
