Hearts travel to Austria to take on Rapid Vienna in the second leg of their Conference League play-off tie on Wednesday evening.
The Jam Tarts led the Green-Whites at Tynecastle in the first leg, but had to settle for a 2-2 draw after the visitors scored an equaliser 10 minutes from time.
Wouter Vrancken's men are battling for a place in the Conference League league phase, where they could face Atalanta or Monaco.

Rapid Vienna v Hearts Prediction
Best Bet: Over 3.5 goals @ 11/8
Hearts and Rapid played out an entertaining draw last week with plenty of action at both ends of the pitch.
James Wilson came off the bench and the 19-year-old hit a stunning 30-yard screamer to give Hearts the lead before Rapid replied to ensure the tie is level ahead of the return in Vienna.
With a place in the league phase at stake, goals are expected at the Allianz Stadion as both sides go for it.
The Green-Whites scored eight in their last home game to beat GAK 1902 in the Austrian Bundesliga and have found the net 31 times in their nine competitive games.
Hearts have also had their shooting boots on, firing six past Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the League Cup and four against Dundee United in the Scottish Premiership.
Backing over 3.5 goals when the sides face off on Wednesday evening looks a smart bet based on the recent scoring exploits of these teams.
Alternative Bet: Rapid Vienna to win over 2.5 goals @ 13/10
Rapid Vienna have won all four of their home games so far this season, scoring 17 goals in the process.
Hearts will have to be at their best to get the better of their Austrian counterparts and have endured a rough time on the road in Europe.
After finishing second in the Scottish Premiership, Hearts had a shot at the UEFA Champions League before losing 4-0 to Rapid's Austrian Bundesliga rivals Sturm Graz.
Then, after dropping down to the Europa League, the Jam Tarts faced the almighty challenge of overcoming Portuguese giants Benfica, losing 6-1 on aggregate.
Rapid won't prove such tough opposition, but playing away will be a very different experience from running out at Tynecastle, so Hearts are underdogs on Wednesday.
Johannes Hoff Thorup's side will know that if they can control the tempo early on, they should have the nous needed to get the job done by winning on the night and progressing to the league phase.
Rapid Vienna v Hearts Bet Builder Tip
Both teams to score
Ercan Kara anytime goalscorer
Over 10 corners
Pays @ 7/1
Rapid Vienna and Hearts have found goals easy to come by this season and the two sides should both find the net on Wednesday evening.
For the hosts, Ercan Kara is expected to lead the line as he did at Tynecastle and could prove a wise pick as an anytime goalscorer.
The towering Rapid forward scored an early brace to set his side up for their 8-0 win over GAK 1902 and also recorded a hat-trick in the 6-2 Conference League qualifier against Santa Coloma at the end of July.
Nine corners were recorded when the sides met in Scotland last week and with a place in the league phase at stake, the second leg could prove more frantic.
Backing over 10 corners in Vienna looks a smart bet as both sides aim to attack and take control of the game.
