It has been a summer of upheaval at Tynecastle and new Hearts boss Wouter Vrancken faces a daunting task tonight in his first competitive game against Sturm Graz.

It's the first time the Jambos have played a Champions League qualifier in two decades but their preparations have been far from ideal.

They've lost manager Derek McInnes and a host of last season's stalwarts so it's a tall order to get past a Sturm Graz side who graced the Champions League groups just two years ago.

Sturm Graz vs Heart of Midlothian top bettings tips

With Hearts having a new manager and a host of fresh players to bed in, I thought Sturm Graz would be heavy odds-on favourites for a win tonight on home soil.

But they're a decent 8/11 at Bet365 and you can boost their odds to 13/10 by adding on over 1.5 goals.

Graz have a far more settled side and shouldn't be too different to the starting XI that finished last term.

That familiarity could be key as Hearts try to get used to new personnel and a different style of play. So I also like the 15/8 on offer at Bet365 for the Austrians to be winning at half-time and full-time.

Larne vs Red Star Belgrade

Larne are also up against it in the Champions League qualifiers tonight as the Northern Irish side take on European heavyweights Red Star Belgrade.

The Serbians are no longer the force who conquered Europe in the early 1990s with some of the finest players in the world.

But they're still regulars in the group stages of UEFA competitions and reached the knockouts in last season's Europa League before bowing out to Lille.

Larne reached the Conference League groups two years ago but ended up being whipping boys, losing five of their six games.

So Red Star look worthy 1/8 favourites tonight with Bet365 and they're just 1/200 to go through.

It's hard finding value at those prices but I like the 21/20 on offer for most goals to come after the break as Larne will no doubt put up a fight with the crowd behind them.

Red Star won 5-0 in their domestic opener on Friday and also racked up nine corners in that game. The corner count could rise if Larne defend deep and backing over nine flag kicks tonight looks good at 11/10.

Ararat Armenia vs Shamrock Rovers

Shamrock Rovers have been making big strides in Europe over the last 15 years and will need to lean on that experience tonight away to Ararat in the Champions League qualifiers.

The Irish side have graced the Europa League and Conference League groups since 2011 but they've never got past the second round of qualifiers in the top-tier tournament.

That could change this year as they take on the Ararat, although it's far from a gimme as the Armenians have beaten some decent teams in their recent European campaigns.

A draw would be an excellent result for Shamrock in tonight's first leg but I fancy Ararat to edge it and the home win pays 6/5 at Bet365.

Super singles

  • Sturm Graz HT-FT 15/8 Bet365
  • Over nine corners in Larne vs Red Star Belgrade 11/10 Bet365
  • Ararat Armenia to win 6/5 Bet365
