Hearts will be aiming to bounce back from their Europa League disappointment when they welcome Rapid Vienna to Tynecastle in the Conference League playoffs. The Scottish side failed to upset Benfica in the third qualifying round, but they showed enough quality to suggest they can match the Austrians, while a comfortable League Cup win over Inverness should provide an extra confidence boost. Hearts have won 60% of their last 10 home games, scoring 2.6 goals per match, although defensive concerns remain. Ageu, Craig Halkett, and Stephen Kingsley remain in the treatment room.
Rapid Vienna, meanwhile, head into the first leg in outstanding form, having won each of their last 10 matches in all competitions. The Austrians have been particularly impressive in attack, averaging 3.5 goals per game during that run, while keeping five clean sheets. Their away record is equally eye-catching, with four consecutive victories and an average of three goals scored per game. Given Rapid's remarkable momentum, Hearts will need to produce a near-perfect performance to secure a positive result.
As Rapid Vienna have won all 10 of their recent matches, we are tempted to place our bets on Away Win, alongside Rapid Over 2.5 and Over 2.5 goals (both teams have strong attacking numbers, while Hearts concede 1.9 per game).
This Europa Conference League match will be played on Thursday 20 August 2026 at 19:45.
