Hearts have been horrific in their recent matches. In their last six matches, they have won only one game and lost the rest five. This also included the final of the Europa League qualification against Zurich. Hearts currently sit at the fourth spot in the Scottish Premiership, eight points off the summit. They will be hopeful to keep their domestic form aside and start fresh in the Conference League.
Istanbul Basaksehir, on the other hand, will be quite pleased with their recent form. They are unbeaten in their last 10 games, with seven wins and a draw. Undoubtedly, the spirits will be quite high as far as the Turkish team is concerned. Their rock solid defence is currently one of their strongest traits and Istanbul will be determined to build on that and earn a win.
Hearts will be without the services of the injured, Nathaniel Atkinson, Kye Rowles, Beni Baningmim, Liam Boyce and the suspended, Jorge Grant. For Istanbul Basaksehir, only Mustafa Kutay Peksen is the only reported absentee.
