Sturm Graz 4-0 Hearts result, stats and report

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.

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.

Hearts dominated possession of the ball for large stretches and led through a quick-fire equaliser, but SK Rapid's bench proved the difference, with a substitute scoring three minutes after coming on to level at Tynecastle.

Sturm Graz dominated the ball and the territory but could only manage a penalty equaliser after Austria Lustenau's tenth-minute header, finishing with eight yellow cards between the sides and a chaotic final whistle.

Salzburg host Sturm Graz on Sunday carrying a significant injury list and an xG figure that suggests they are creating far more than the scoreboard shows. The question is whether a depleted squad can hold its structure long enough to turn that promise into points.

Kilmarnock arrive at Rugby Park without a point from their opening two league games and carrying the worst defensive record in the division. Hearts travel knowing their form away from home tells a very different story to their performances at Tynecastle.

LASK Linz arrive at Merkur Arena with a perfect record in the Austrian Bundesliga but precious little top-flight experience to draw on. Sturm Graz, carrying injury concerns and inconsistent form, will look to expose exactly that.
