On Tuesday evening, in the Austrian city of Graz, Sturm Graz and Hearts will clash in a UEFA Champions League qualifier. In front of their own fans, the hosts will be hoping to secure a lead ahead of the second leg in Edinburgh, while the visitors would love to go back to Scotland with something to show for their away-day efforts.
Given that neither side has played any competitive soccer of late, this is not the easiest game to get a grip of, though if we look at how the hosts fared in Europe last season, especially when they faced Rangers of the Scottish Premiership, we can conclude that 'Both Teams to Score' rates as a decent bet. The visitors have some very capable offensive players, players who can thrive on the break, as was often the case during the previous SPL season, but they didn't keep loads of clean sheets last season, while the hosts have a strong offensive record at home.

Our Sturm Graz vs Heart Of Midlothian FC Prediction
The hosts will definitely be hoping to get the better of this first leg, and the betting market suggests that they will, but we shouldn't be too shocked if the visitors cause some problems at Merkur-Arena, where Rangers not only scored but created lots of chances in the Europa League last season. Hearts were a better SPL outfit than Rangers last season, so by that logic, they should be capable of hurting the hosts.
Unfortunately, Wouter Vrancken has taken over a team that doesn't like to keep clean sheets, so we also shouldn't be surprised if the Sturm Graz boys do some damage in this game.
Our Sturm Graz vs Hearts Pick: Both Teams to Score.
