Hearts
Match Time & Date:

20:45
Prediction: 2-0
Rosenborg
Tynecastle Park will be the center of attention when Hearts and Rosenborg lock horns in the Conference League third qualifying round, return leg. Hearts scored a vital away goal in the first leg, with Lawrence Shankland finding the net 15 minutes before the final whistle and, no doubt, they are capable of overcoming the deficit at home ground. Alexander Cochrane is back from the domestic ban, while all Gordon, Halkett, and McKay should miss out with injuries.
The Troillongan, on the other hand, are likely to adopt a cautious approach in Thursday’s clash as they aim to defend their slim lead, but they will have a big fish to fry in Scotland. Even though Rosenborg were not in action in the Eliteserien at the weekend, we are tempted to put our money on Hearts, who are capable of producing excellent displays in front of home fans. All Holm, Henriksen, Saeter, and Augustinsson are sidelined for the visiting team.

Highlighted Player (Liam Boyce):
Liam Boyce is a Northern Ireland international who plays for Burton Albion in the League One. Boyce was born in Belfast on April 8, 1991 and he started his senior career at Cliftonville.
The 184-cm tall attacker played for the likes of Werder Bremen II and Ross County as well before becoming Burton Albion’s record signing in the 2017 summer transfer window.Liam Boyce missed almost entire 2017/2018 season through a serious knee injury, returning to action on February 3, 2018. Speaking of his international career, Boyce made his Northern Ireland debut against Scotland on February 9, 2011, coming as a substitute for Niall McGinn.
Six years later, on June 2, 2017, he scored his first goal for the Northern Ireland national team in a 1-0 win over New Zealand. Liam Boyce’s main position is centre-forward, but he is capable of producing fine performances as a second striker as well.
Highlighted Team (Rosenborg):
Rosenberg are undisputedly the most famous Norwegian club. The Troillongan have participated in the Champions League group stages on several occasions and they are the dominant force in the Norwegian Premier League. Rosenborg won their 24th (record) domestic title in 2016, with the team finishing the season 15 points clear of second-placed Brann.
The Norwegian side are well known for their black and white kits and Lerkendal Stadion is the club’s home ground. The capacity of the venue is 21.405 and the stadium was opened back in 1947. John Carew is the most notable footballer who played for Rosenborg in the past and it has to be noted that the powerful centre-forward scored 18 goals in 18 appearances in the league for the Troillongan.
Nowadays Nicklas Bendtner wears Rosenborg shirt, but he did not help the Norwegian champions make it to the Champions League group stages. Rosenborg eliminated Dundalk in the second qualifying round, but Scottish side Celtic proved to be a big catch for Kare Hedley Ingebrigtsen’s troops in round 3.
