Hearts to Win or Draw and Over 1.5 Goals
Playing at home, Hearts have lost one of their last 11 fixtures in all competitions. In addition, looking at the goals stats of both teams, we can see a 95% possibility that this match will produce over 1.5 goals.
Both Teams to Score Yes
All of Hearts’ last eight fixtures saw both teams score. On Zurich’s side, the same trend happened in five of their last eight away games. The stats are showing a 60% chance for both teams scoring in this match.
Zurich 0 Goal Handicap
In their last five fixtures, Zurich won three games and drew one, and covered the suggested handicap in all of these games. In Europe this season, Zurich covered the 0 goal handicap in their last three games.
Preliminary Review and Match Prediction for Hearts vs FC Zurich
Hearts
The last time Hearts played in a European competition group stage was back in the 2004/05 season in the UEFA Cup. At that time, the Gorgie Boys finished fifth. Now they are 90 minutes away from reaching the Europa League round-robin phase or moving on to the Conference League.
However, Hearts need to win by two clear goals something they have done once in their last nine matches in Europe and that was against Tallinn in 2016. Still, Robbie Neilson’s team is averaging 2.50 goals scored per match but their opponents have netted 1.25 goals per game at Tynecastle.
FC Zurich
Zurich meanwhile have 90 minutes to keep a clean sheet and qualify, something they have done in six of their last ten matches. FCZ did well in the first leg to come back from behind after going down early in the first half.
Nonetheless, coach Franco Foda’s men reacted quickly and went into the locker rooms leading 2-1. And the winning margin should be even higher as Zurich had some clear chances after eight attempts at the goal of which two were on goal.
Hearts vs FC Zurich Prediction
This will be a very tight match with Hearts going for the win and Zurich defending with all they’ve got. For that, we prefer to back a double chance of a home win or draw combined with over 1.5 total goals.
