Rapid Vienna
Heart Of MidlothianRapid Vienna host Heart of Midlothian in the UEFA Europa Conference League playoff second leg at the Weststadion, with kickoff at 19:45. The first leg ended 2-2 in Edinburgh, leaving everything to play for in this winner-takes-all encounter. Rapid arrive as favourites, having enjoyed an almost flawless domestic campaign with eight consecutive wins before the draw in Scotland. Hearts, meanwhile, travel to Austria seeking to overturn their alarming away record this season, which includes three defeats and a 2:12 goal difference across official matches played on the road.
Form and H2H
Rapid's home form has been exceptional, with nine wins and one draw from their last ten matches, averaging 3.4 goals for and 0.9 against. The Austrian side had won every official fixture this season before the Edinburgh stalemate. Hearts' away record tells a different story—four wins, two draws, and four losses from their last ten, with an average of 1.8 goals for and 2.0 against. The Scots have lost all three official away games this season, conceding ten goals in European trips to Austria and Portugal. These teams drew 2-2 when they met previously, with Rapid taking the lead before Hearts scored twice in quick succession, only for the hosts to equalize through a substitute.
Best Bet
Rapid Vienna to win at 1.55 with Mostbet represents the primary selection. The hosts' unbeaten home record, combined with Hearts' documented away vulnerabilities and the need to attack in search of a winning goal, should favour the Austrian side. Additionally, both teams to score at current odds offers value given both sides' attacking intent and defensive frailties—Rapid have scored in 11 consecutive matches, while Hearts have netted in five straight.
Odds to Watch
Mostbet's odds are: Rapid Vienna 1.55, Draw 4.5, Heart of Midlothian 5.0. The draw price reflects the competitive nature of this tie, though Rapid's home advantage and Hearts' away record suggest the hosts should edge this playoff decider in regular time.
