The home side have enjoyed a positive start to their season and will be looking to carry that momentum into the midweek clash where they are set to make their European debut.

Olimpija are also enjoying a good run of results at the moment and will be looking kick off their continental campaign on a winning note. They picked up a comfortable 2-0 win over Primorje in their last match, taking the lead via an Ivan Durdov strike in the first half before Raul Florucz came off the bench to seal the points in the second.

The visitors were beaten 2-0 by Lille in their Conference League opener last season and will hope they can find better luck this time around.

Heidenheim vs Olimpija Prediction

Heidenheim's latest result ended a run of back-to-back defeats and they will be looking to kick on from that this week. They have won three of their last four competitive games on home turf and will fancy their chances of a positive result on Thursday.

Olimpija are on a run of consecutive victories and are undefeated all season. The sheer gulf in class and quality between the two teams could, however, see the visitors suffer defeat here.
