We said: Hearts 1-0 Rigas Futbola Skola

RFS will almost certainly come to Tynecastle and sit back and hope for opportunities on the counter-attack, but this did not work as well in Istanbul as it did in Florence. Hearts have been woeful at home of late, but did show a lot of fight and quality in netting three times against Celtic at the weekend, so they should be able to see off the Latvian side here.
