Hearts came through all nineteen of their home league games last season without defeat, bagging 15 wins right here. That run left them needing only a draw at Celtic Park on the final day to be crowned champions for the first time since 1960. The Tynecastle record underpins our Heart of Midlothian vs Sturm Graz prediction, even with a four-goal hole to climb out of.
The first leg in Graz went badly wrong for the Jambos. Wouter Vrancken's first competitive match in charge ended 4-0. The opener arrived from a long throw inside four minutes, and three more goals landed in a nine-minute spell after the interval.
Vrancken's men carried the better openings from open play and were undone by dead balls rather than outplayed. Die Schwoazn, meanwhile, travel with the tie all but won, and they have already looked beyond it. Fabio Ingolitsch kept only two of his first-leg starters for Friday's Austrian Cup opener.
That 3-0 win at third-tier Seekirchen brought no clear opening inside the opening twenty minutes. His own verdict has been generous. The Sturm boss called the tie a 50-50 duel and rated Hearts the more technical side.

Our Heart Of Midlothian FC vs Sturm Graz Prediction
Nobody broke Tynecastle last season. The Jambos came through all nineteen home league games without defeat, signing off with seven straight wins. The first leg flattered Sturm badly. Vrancken's side owned the ball at 67% and were beaten by two set pieces rather than in open play.
Die Schwoazn arrive with qualification effectively banked, and Ingolitsch kept only two first-leg starters in his cup side on Friday. The aggregate is beyond saving, but ninety minutes in Gorgie are not. Hence, our Heart of Midlothian vs Sturm Graz prediction is that Heart of Midlothian wins.
