What channel is Hearts vs Fiorentina? Live stream, TV and kick-off details for Conference League clash

Another European night under the lights at Tynecastle and Hearts will be hoping it goes better than the last one.

Istanbul Basaksehir arrived on matchday one of Europa Conference League Group A as the favourites to progress and hammered their status home with a 4-0 victory. Now Serie A cracks Fiorentina come calling, but as the team propping up the rest. While the Turks were winning comfortably in Gorgie, La Viola were held 1-1 at home by minnows RFS.

Robbie Neilson’s team went to Latvia and won 2-0 while Fiorentina were themselves heavily beaten by Basaksehir. With just one point from their opening two games, they know taking something from Thursday night’s game, as well as next week’s encounter in Florence, will be vital if they want to make it out of the group. Hearts will back themselves to get a result in front of their own fans, which would give them a cushion heading to Italy next week.

They’ll need to improve from their weekend showing, however. A 4-0 home reverse to Rangers was far from ideal preparation, but at least Cammy Devlin should be fresh after his first half sending off.

Neilson had hoped that Craig Halkett would be available for tonight, but it looks like he’ll be struggling for next Thursday’s game, never mind this evening’s. Stephen Kingsley should be fine after suffering a spasm against the Gers, while Barrie McKay was also taken off as a precaution.

Here’s all the info you need on how to watch the action.
