On Tuesday, it's time to make amends for Wouter Vrancken's men, who came unstuck in Austria last week. As Hearts take on Sturm Graz at Tynecastle Park, the visitors will be looking to get over the line having done most of the hard work already, holding a commanding 4-0 lead after the first leg. A quick glance at the first-leg result suggests that the Austrians were hugely dominant in that first leg, but that's not really the case. What they were is far more clinical than their Scottish counterparts, who created as much but lacked end product.
Given that they are four goals down ahead of this second leg, the hosts are going to struggle to go through, especially as the front-footed approach that they're now forced to take will lead to them being exposed on the break. However, from a betting point of view, it's definitely worth betting on Vrancken's men to notch a couple of goals, which is something that they should've done in the first leg.

Our Heart Of Midlothian FC vs Sturm Graz Prediction
As the stats above show, Tuesday's visitors weren't exactly full value for their 4-0 win in the first leg. Sure, they offered plenty going forward, but so did the team about to play in front of a home crowd. Having created plenty in the first leg, so much so that they could've easily scored a couple of goals, Hearts look generously priced to do some damage at Tynecastle Park, where they have a strong record of scoring multiple goals, doing so in each of their last three competitive home games.
