Our call

We looked at this match and did not find a call worth making. That can change as team news comes in: calls are looked at again every fifteen minutes until kick-off, so one can change or come down, and each closes when the match starts. the bet slip stays exactly as posted.

Passing on Trabzonspor v Heart of Midlothian. The likely outcome is priced too short to be worth taking, and nothing else is sure enough to call.

Preview

Hearts will punish a Trabzonspor side that has been riding its luck lately. While the hosts let in only 6 across their last eight games, the volume of chances they allowed should have cost them 12. Their goalkeeper and a run of fortune kept them safe, but that cannot continue. Hearts are trending up, creating better openings in their last four matches than they did previously. Losing their muscle-strained striker removes three goals from the hosts, leaving them blunt without a big chunk of their goals. Even though Hearts lose two assists from an injured midfielder, they have four wins from six. This game is decided when the home side's luck at the back finally runs out.
