Hearts have lost just two of their last eight in all competitions
Heidenheim have been beaten in six of their last 10
This is the first ever meeting between the two clubs
Jam Tarts to go three-for-three in Europe
Hearts have finally found some form after a dismal start to the campaign and they can continue to impress on the continental stage when they host a Heidenheim side that has struggled domestically in recent weeks.
The Jam Tarts have won four of their last seven matches across league and European assignments while they have also avoided defeat in three of their last four home games at Tynecastle – although this defeat did come in their last home fixture against Kilmarnock.
Heidenheim meanwhile, despite winning both of their opening European fixtures against Olimpia Ljubljana (2-1) and Paphos (1-0), have failed to come away with three points in each of their last four Bundesliga games – losing three and failing to score in each of their last two.
With three defeats from their last four on the road, the German side could struggle in Edinburgh. Hearts won their last continental clash at Tynecastle 2-0 and they are more than capable of replicating this feat give that they have scored eight goals across their last four home fixtures – an average of two a game.
