After missing out last season, Scottish side Heart Of Midlothian could return to the league phase of the UEFA Conference League. However, standing in their way is Austrian giants Rapid Wien, who are aiming for a third consecutive appearance in the Conference League main phase. The two teams go head-to-head in the first leg of the play-offs at Tynecastle Park in Scotland on Thursday. Notably, Hearts’ qualifying campaign in Europe this season has been a tale of struggles, and another difficult outing is likely on the cards against in-form Rapid Wien, hence our prediction favouring the visitors.
Hearts secured a berth in the Champions League qualifying rounds after a second-place finish in the Scottish Premiership last season. However, their campaign in the elite tier ended at the first hurdle in the second qualifying round following a 6–0 aggregate defeat to Sturm Graz.
That result saw them drop into the Europa League third qualifying round, where they lost 7–2 on aggregate to Benfica before dropping into the UEFA Conference League. The Jam Tarts secured some respite at the weekend, thrashing Inverness 6–2 in domestic cup action, but they are in for a difficult clash on Thursday, having failed to win any of their four outings in Europe this season (D1, L3).
Rapid Wien are firing on all fronts this season. They defeated Estonian side Paide 2–0 last week to win the third qualifying round 6–1 on aggregate, maintaining their perfect record across their four matches in the competition.
That was followed by a thumping 8–0 victory over Grazer AK in the Austrian Bundesliga at the weekend. The Green-Whites have won all eight of their competitive matches this season.
