Hearts v SK Rapid – Thursday, 7.45pm

Hearts have one final chance to secure European football this season after their 7–2 aggregate defeat to Benfica in the Europa League. Dropping into the Conference League may feel slightly underwhelming given how close the Jambos came to lifting the William Hill Premiership title last year, but it still represents a valuable opportunity to extend their continental campaign.
There are signs that Wouter Vrancken’s side are beginning to settle. After a winless run across their opening four competitive fixtures, Hearts have responded impressively with three unbeaten games in all competitions — capped by Sunday’s emphatic 6–2 victory over Inverness in the League Cup.
That upturn in form should give the Jambos real confidence heading into this first leg. They’ll be desperate to maintain their momentum and take a lead with them to Austria next week, and William Hill make them 13/10 to do exactly that.

Rapid Vienna will provide a serious test for Hearts on Thursday night. The Austrian side arrive in Edinburgh in outstanding form, having won each of their last eleven matches in all competitions and remaining unbeaten across their last fifteen outings.
They also have pedigree in this tournament, reaching the quarter‑finals in 2024/25, and this will be their fifteenth meeting with Scottish opposition. Rapid have won six of those clashes, though only two of their seven away fixtures have ended in victory.
Both teams have been involved in high‑scoring games recently, and that trend could easily continue here. Rapid Vienna travel with momentum and attacking confidence, and William Hill price them at 9/2 to win this first leg while both teams find the net — a market that reflects the goal‑heavy form of both sides.
