Hearts are looking to bounce back from their opening Conference League shocker against Istanbul Basaksehir when they went down 4-0 to the Turkish side in Gorgie.

Robbie Neilson's Jambos are in Riga for their clash with RFS who defied the odds in their opening Group A game when they drew 1-1 against Serie A side Fiorentina in Florence.

But Hearts will have to be better than they have been with six defeats from their last season games and here the Record Sport writers make their predictions for the Euro clash.

The Jambos need to cope with the physical side of Rigas game and their height advantage at set-pieces but this is the night to make amends for their mauling from Istanbul.
