Preliminary Review and Match Prediction for FC Zurich vs Hearts
FC Zurich
After winning the Swiss Suoer League for the 13th time last season, FC Zurich played in the UEFA Champions League qualification semi-finals. Unfortunately for Zurich, their adventure in the UCL was short-lived after losing to Qarabag 4-5 on aggregate.
The Swiss side then moved on to the Europa League where they beat Linfield in the qualification semi-finals 5-0 on aggregate. These two wins are Franco Foda’s team’s only wins since the start of the season as they are winless in the Swiss Super League in four rounds.
Hearts
Four-time Scottish champions Hearts will play in the Europa League for the fifth time and are aiming to play in the group stage for the first time. Hearts’ best result in Europe was reaching the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup in 1988/89 when they lost to Bayern Munich
Recently in the Europa League, Hearts couldn’t get past the Playoff round after some tough matchups with Liverpool and Tottenham. In the current season in the Scottish League, Hearts have four points from two matches and were able to win their first match in the league after ending last season winless in their last five fixtures.
FC Zurich vs Hearts Prediction
In contrast to the statistics, the bookies are favoring Zurich to win this match. In the Swiss Super League, the reigning champions are winless in four rounds but did very well against a mediocre Linfield side. We will follow the bookies’ prediction and back Zurich to win.
