REF’s picks

Trabzonspor enters this game in superior form and with the home advantage at Papara Park, where they have demonstrated a high attacking output. While Hearts has shown some resilience, their heavy recent defeat to Celtic highlights defensive vulnerabilities that a clinical side like Trabzonspor should exploit to cover a two-goal margin.

1. 1Trabzonspor's recent scoring form is impressive, including a 4-0 win over Galatasaray.
2. 2Hearts' confidence may be fragile following their recent 7-1 loss in the Scottish Premiership.
3. 3The absence of key players like Paul Onuachu could slightly limit Trabzonspor's direct options, creating a risk that they might struggle to break down a determined low block.
