Hearts vs Petroclub Predictions


A short-priced Hearts should have enough quality to claim their place in the Conference League playoff round.

I'm backing a home win while adding under 3.5 goals to boost the value on Thursday.

Stats


  • Hearts won 3 of their last 5 home matches (Conference League)
  • Hearts have seen under 2.5 goals in 7 of their last 8 matches
  • Petroclub lost 8 of their last 9 matches (Conference League)
  • Petroclub have seen under 3.5 goals in 7 of their last 8 matches (Conference League)

Head to Head


Thursday's Conference League contest marks the first-ever meeting between Hearts and Petroclub.

Hearts Form


Hearts return to Tynecastle on Thursday after back-to-back away defeats suffered in the past week. The Jambos slipped to a 2-0 Conference League defeat against FC Copenhagen before falling to a 1-0 Premiership loss against Kilmarnock. 

The Jambos have again suffered a dip in form following a brief improvement under recently hired head coach Neil Critchley. Hearts lost six and won just one of their last eight matches.

Usually a stiffer proposition under the lights at Tynecastle, Hearts won three of their last five home Conference League contests. 

Hearts Team News


Hearts boss Critchley will hand a recall to captain Lawrence Shankland after the Scotland forward missed the defeat to Kilmarnock. 

Injured quartet Calem Nieuwenhof, Frankie Kent, Gerald Taylor and Stephen Kingsley remain sidelined. 

Petroclub Form


Petroclub arrive in Edinburgh in search of their first Conference League victory of the season. Andrei Martin's side claimed a 1-1 draw at Istanbul Basaksehir in their most recent away European encounter, before falling to a narrow 1-0 home reversal against Betis last week.

The Hîncesti Lions have struggled to find much form in recent weeks, either domestically or in European competition. Petroclub lost four while failing to win eight of their last ten matches across all competitions.

A poor record on their European travels has seen the Moldovans lose six and win only one of ten previous away continental ties. 

Petroclub Team News


Head coach Martin will likely make at least one change to the side beaten by Betis last Thursday. Ion Bors was forced off in the first half due to an injury issue and is set to drop out. Narh Djangmah is expected to deputise for the Moldovans. 

Verdict

Petroclub could make life difficult for the hosts, but Hearts should edge their way to victory on Thursday.

A home win with under 3.5 goals scored is my top tip at Tynecastle.
