Istanbul Basaksehir vs Heidenheim Prediction

Istanbul Basaksehir have struggled in the Conference League so far this season managing just two points from their first four matches. Those two points have come in their last two matches as they have managed to grab draws but they simply have to win this match here if they are to have any hope of reaching the knockout phase.

They welcome German side Heidenheim who are proving to be revelations in their first even European club competition campaign.

They have won three of their four matches so far and their only loss came to Chelsea who are one of two teams with a 100% winning record.

Life in the Bundesliga is proving to be pretty challenging for them this season as they juggle commitments. They have taken just one point from their last eight league matches which has to be a major concern as they have dropped into the bottom three. They have also now conceded 16 goals in their last four league matches too.

The Conference League may offer them welcome respite from the pressure of the league but this is not an easy assignment for them. It would be no surprise if they rested most regulars ahead of a key home match against Stuttgart this weekend and consider the hosts to get a positive result.
