Command Analysis

Hearts

Current form
Hearts are having a terrible start to the season and it is obvious that they have failed to prepare for it fully. Steven Naismith's team have already played three rounds in the Scottish Championship, in which they have managed to score only one point - such results do not allow them to rise above the 10th place in the table. In the first match against Victoria, Hearts bravely defended a goalless draw, but conceded at the end.
Disqualifications and injuries
Calem Nieuwenhof is injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Hearts have lost their last four matches
- Hearts have scored just one goal in their last three matches
Probable line-up : Gordon - Taylor, Kent, Kingsley, Rowles, Penrice - Vargas, Devlin, Boateng, Grant - Shankland.

Viktoria Plzen

Viktoria started the Europa League qualification in the last round and had Kryvbas as their opponent. In the first match, Myroslav Kubek's team won 2:1, but did not hold on to the advantage at home and beat their opponent 1:0 at home. In the home match against Hearts, Viktoria had a huge advantage, but barely scored one goal and kept the intrigue in the confrontation.

1.59Tip and bets
Hearts deservedly lost the first match and today they need to improve significantly in order to fight for a ticket to the final group. Despite a number of problems and not the best form, the Clarets are quite capable of improving at home and playing aggressively in attack – it will be difficult for Victoria to keep a clean sheet in Scotland. However, the Red-Blues are in excellent form and are certainly capable of responding.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. Betting Tip - both will score . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.75
Bet on the outcome
Hearts have not been able to fully prepare for the start of the season and are experiencing problems, having not yet won a single victory in all tournaments. Victoria, on the contrary, has already gained excellent form and looked very strong in the game in the first match. It makes sense to give preference to the guests in such a situation, who are objectively stronger in the game today, and also have an advantage in experience.
The bet is for Victoria to win. This bet is offered for 2.05
Bet on corners
Hearts need to come back and the hosts will probably spend a lot of time on the attack, but Victoria are quite capable of responding and there should be plenty of corners.
Bet - total over 9.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.61
