Heart Of Midlothian FC vs Petrocub Hincesti Prediction & Betting Tips - Conference League
by Devesh Jaganath in Conference League Predictions
Hearts’ Conference League playoff hopes will be hanging in the balance when they host Petrocub at Tynecastle Park in Edinburgh on Thursday night. The Jambos are in 23rd place in the League Phase standings while the Hincesti Lions are second to bottom. Check out our match prediction below!
With six points to their name, Hearts’ are currently the second-last team above the playoff cutoff and require a victory here to guarantee their place in the next round of the competition. Petrocub, on the other hand, have earned just a single point from their first five Conference League matches and will be playing this one as a mere formality, as they are already out of qualification contention.
Bookmakers have installed the hosts as massive favourites in this contest, but will the visitors dash their dreams before bowing out of Europe this season? Let’s take a look at some important stats at play in this one.

Heart Of Midlothian FC - Petrocub Hincesti: Form Analysis
Hearts made the perfect start to their Conference League campaign, notching up back-to-back wins in their first two matches, beating Dinamo Minsk and Omonia Nicosia.
However, since then, they have failed to earn a single point, losing each of their last three matches 2-0 against Heidenheim, Cercle Brugge and Copenhagen.
The Jam Tarts also suffered a 1-0 defeat to Kilmarnock in the Premiership over the weekend, which sees their recent record read as just one win, one draw and six losses in their last eight games.
Hearts have failed to score in five of their last eight matches across all competitions!
Meanwhile, Petrocub’s only point in this competition came via a 1-1 draw with Istanbul Basaksehir, while they were defeated by all of Pafos, Jagiellonia Bialystok, Rapid Vienna and Real Betis.
To date, the White and Blacks conceded a total of 11 goals in Europe and have scored just two, failing to find the back of the net in three of their five games in this competition.
The visitors are winless in their last three matches across all competitions and have only managed two victories in their last 10 games on the road (W2 D3 L5).

Heart Of Midlothian FC & Petrocub Hincesti Squad Analysis
Hearts were dealt a significant injury blow in their defeat to Copenhagen last week, with Frankie Kent forced to leave the Parken Stadion on crutches after going down injured in the first half.
Neil Critchley confirmed that Kent is now facing a "lengthy period" on the sidelines and he is joined by fellow defender Stephen Kingsley, who is out with a ruptured hamstring.
Gerald Taylor (knee) and Calem Nieuwenhof (hamstring) are both ruled out until the New Year, but Craig Halkett could return to the squad this week after missing the trip to Denmark.
Lawrence Shankland was rested over the weekend and should return to lead the line for Hearts!
Petrocub will have to make do without the services of central midfielder Teodor Lungu, who received his third yellow card of the competition in the last match and will have to serve a suspension in this one.
Ion Bors was withdrawn at the 34-minute mark against Betis with what looked like a hamstring strain and he is flagged as a major doubt for this match.
