What Hearts can earn from Europa League or Conference League and the difference is not as big as you might think

By the end of the week, Hearts will know who stands between them and a place in the Europa League group stage. FC Zurich and Linfield go head-to-head in Switzerland on Thursday night, when they play the second leg of their third qualifying round tie.

The Swiss champs ran out 2-0 winners in Belfast last week thanks to goals from Tosin Aiyegun and Wilfried Gnonto at Windsor Park.

Bar a stunning comeback by David Healy’s side, then Robbie Neilson will in all likelihood be preparing his players to face Zurich.

The Jambos are set to face them at St Gallen’s Kyburnpark on Thursday, August 18 due to a concert being played at Stadion Letzigrund the following evening.
