Hearts vs Heidenheim Prediction and Betting Tips | November 7th 2024

Hearts will face Heidenheim at Tynecastle Park on Thursday in the league phase of the 2024-25 UEFA Europa Conference League. The home side have endured an overall underwhelming league campaign this season but have performed well on the continental stage and now sit sixth in the table with six points from two matches.

They beat Omonia Nicosia 2-0 in their last European outing, with Alan Forrest and Blair Spittal getting on the scoresheet in the first half to send the Scottish side to a hard-fought victory in front of their home fans.

Like their opponents, Heidenheim have performed brightly in European action despite their struggles domestically. They beat Pafos 1-0 in their last match, with team captain Patrick Mainka scoring the sole goal of the game to hand the Bundesliga side maximum points with his first goal since last December.

The visitors sit ninth in the table with six points from a potential six and will hope they can find more joy in the Conference League when they head to Scotland this week.

Hearts vs Heidenheim Prediction

Hearts' latest result ended a run of back-to-back winless outings and they will be looking to kick on from that this week. They have, however, won just twice at home since the start of the season and have a difficult test on Thursday.

Heidenheim are on a run of consecutive defeats and have won just one of their last six games across all competitions. Their performances on the road of late have been rather disappointing, losing three of their last four matches, but they should have just enough to win this one.

Prediction: Hearts 1-2 Heidenheim
