Prediction: 2-0
St Johnstone
Hearts will be aiming to recover from a 1-0 loss to Kilmarnock when they face Petrocub at their Tynecastle Park in the Europa Conference League round 5. The Jambos are on a three-game losing run in the Conference League, but they are still seen as hot favourites to beat the Moldovans in front of home fans. Frankie Kent limped off with injury in a 2-0 loss to Copenhagen, with Adam Forrester likely to step up.
Petrocub, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom of the table with only one point on their account. As over the years Hearts have turned their Tynecastle Park into a real fortress, home win should be considered. Ion Bors limped off with injury in a 1-0 loss to Real Betis, with Gilbert Narh likely to step up. The two clubs meet for the first time in European competitions.
Highlighted Team (Hearts):
Founded in 1874, Hearts are professional football club that compete in the Scotland Premiership. The Jam Tarts welcome their rivals at Tynecastle Park Gorgie, the stadium which can hold up to 20,000 spectators.
While the original Hearts strip was all white shirts and trousers with maroon trimmings, the club’s current home kit is all maroon with a white-collar. Hearts have won the Scottish Premier League title four times (1894/95, 1896/97, 1957/58, 1959/60), but they have been in Celtic and Rangers’ shadows in the 21st century. Hibernian are considered the club’s fiercest rivals. The two teams first met back in 1875 on Christmas Day, with Hearts winning the match 1-0. The Tynecastle Park Gorgie recorded their biggest win in 1880, with the team rolling over Anchor 21-0 in the FA Cup.
The club’s heaviest defeat came eight years later as Hearts were beaten by Vale of Leven 8-1 in the Scottish Cup. John Robertson is leading the club’s all-time goal-scoring chart, with the left winger netting 214 goals for the club.
