Hearts vs PAOK: Europa Conference League Qualifiers Live Stream, Form Guide, Head to Head, Schedule, Fixture and Probable Lineups

Scottish team Hearts will host Greek club PAOK at Tynecastle in the initial leg of their Europa Conference League playoff clash on Thursday. Hearts have secured victories in their two recent home matches, outscoring opponents 7-1. Meanwhile, PAOK arrives in Edinburgh having clinched back-to-back 3-0 triumphs and maintaining a clean sheet in their last three overall fixtures.

Hearts advanced to the Europa Conference League playoff round after overturning a first-leg deficit against Rosenborg, winning 4-3 on aggregate. Trailing 2-1 initially, they rallied at Tynecastle with goals from Devlin (2) and Shankland, including a dramatic 92nd-minute winner. A 4-0 victory over Partick Thistle in the League Cup followed, including a debut goal from loanee Offiah. Hearts, earning four points in two Premiership matches, qualified for last season’s Conference League group stage, finishing third in Group A. To replicate this success, they must overcome PAOK, a new opponent. If victorious, they’ll progress to the group stage once again.

PAOK remains unbeaten this season, winning three and drawing two of their first five matches. They advanced through two Europa Conference League qualifying rounds to reach the playoffs. Overcoming Beitar Jerusalem 4-1 on aggregate and Hajduk Split 3-0 on aggregate, they managed to progress despite goalless draws in the first leg of both ties. In the Greek Super League, they began strongly, securing a 3-0 victory over Asteras Tripolis with goals from Zivkovic (2) and Schwab. Seeking to avoid another year without European competition, PAOK aims to qualify for the Europa Conference League for the second time, having reached the quarter-finals in the 2021-22 launch season.
