Hearts face an almost impossible task at Tynecastle, needing to overturn a five goal deficit after being thrashed 6-1 by Benfica in Lisbon last week.

Wouter Vrancken has endured a difficult start since replacing Derek McInnes, who left for Rangers in the summer along with captain Lawrence Shankland and midfielder Cammy Devlin, with just one win from his opening five matches in charge.

That solitary victory came at the weekend, a 4-0 win over Dundee United that offered some relief after four straight defeats, though Stephen Kingsley, Craig Halkett, Malachi Fagan-Walcott and Ageu all remain unavailable.

Benfica arrive with the tie effectively already won, having scored 12 goals across their three European outings this season under new boss Marco Silva.

The former Everton and Fulham manager could rotate his squad given the size of the advantage, with Jhon Duran pushing for his first start following his loan move from Al-Nassr after coming off the bench to score in the first leg.

Whoever progresses will face a play-off round for a place in the Europa League league phase, with the losers dropping into the Conference League.
