Hearts boss Robbie Neilson will hoping his side produce a completely different performance from last week's annihilation at the hands of Fiorentina when they travel to Italy on Thursday evening.
The Jambos had already lost 4-0 at home to a rampant Istanbul Basaksehir side on the opening gameweek of the Europa Conference League group stage, although Fiorentina's shock draw to RFS offered some form of hope. Hearts beat the Latvian side 2-0 on their own turf to build confidence for the visit of Vincenzo Italiano's men last week, with Tynecastle expectant of a decent showing - yet a 3-0 loss with not much fight dampened the mood in the camp once again.
Nonetheless, Hearts fans will show up in their hundreds in the Tuscan capital, knowing that a win would take them above the hosts with just two games remaining. But fresh off the back of two home defeats, Neilson will know that the task ahead is tough. They are favourites to succumb to a loss in Florence - though you can never say never under the floodlights.
