Hearts vs Nordsjælland prediction, odds and how to watch

Hearts ground out a 2-1 victory at Falkirk on Tuesday evening, with goals from Ben Krauhaus and Owen Eames enough to claim three points despite Falkirk's James Wilson pulling one back. It was a result that flattered neither side, but Hearts had the ruthlessness when it mattered.

AGF claimed a convincing 2-0 victory at Nordsjælland on Sunday, with Emil Rasmussen and substitute Hjalte Boe Rasmussen scoring late to punish a home side that created chances but lacked the ruthlessness to take them.

St. Gallen had the chances, the shots, and the desire to win this one. Nordsjælland had the composure to take it from them, and that is the difference between the two sides right now.

Hearts ground out a 2-1 Scottish Premiership win over St. Johnstone at Tynecastle, with James Wilson's early goal and an Enes Alic own goal doing the damage before R. Paton pulled one back for the visitors after the break.

FC Midtjylland came from behind twice to earn a 2-2 draw against Nordsjælland in the Danish Superliga, with Martin Erlić heading home a late equaliser four minutes from time. The thing is, Midtjylland did enough to win this match. They just did not take their chances when it mattered.

Hearts produced a controlled second-half display to win 3-1 at Hibernian, with Hibs undone by a red card, sloppy defending, and a total failure to hold what they had built in the first half.

Nordsjælland arrive at Tynecastle on a five-match winning run in this competition, having conceded just twice. Hearts have not kept a clean sheet in either of their two Conference League matches. Someone has to change their tune on Thursday night.

Hearts have won four of their last five Scottish Premiership matches and look every inch a side that means business. St. Mirren arrive with two defeats in their last two and a serious question to answer about whether they can compete at this level right now.
