Hearts face a mammoth task away to Danish giants Copenhagen in the Europa Conference League this evening.
Copenhagen are flying in their domestic top-flight as they sit top and haven’t lost a competitive game since October 3 against Jagiellonia Bialystok.
They also reached the last 16 of the Champions League last season, so Hearts know exactly what to expect at the Parken Stadium.
The Jambos, however, are ahead of Copenhagen in the Conference League table by a single point and the Danes haven’t been able to carry over their dominant domestic form into Europe.
Hearts know at least a point should be enough to get them into the knockout play-off round, so can they get the job done before facing Petrocub at Tynecastle?
