- Jambos backed up a 6-2 home League Cup 2026 win over Inverness Caledonian Thistle with a good 2-2 draw away to Rapid in the UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026.
- Wouter Vrancken, who took over on 1st July 2026, likes his team to play with structure, rotate their positions and play with an intense, direct and aggressive mentality from the front when they play in either a 4-2-3-1 or a 4-3-4.

Betting Insights
- The bookmakers have SK Rapid Wien at 1.72 and Hearts at 4.55 for Wednesday's UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 qualifier at Allianz Stadion.
- The draw looks to be the better value of the two teams, although over 2.5 goals at 1.67 is the sharper bet here as this tie could get a little feisty.
Prediction
Both teams are likely to get on the scoresheet at some stage in what could be a feisty encounter at Allianz Stadion, with over 2.5 goals looking the better option to me at this stage of the tie.
