Hearts are set to host Rosenborg in the return tie of the UEFA Europa Conference League third-round qualifier at Tynecastle Park on Thursday.
The hosts suffered a 2-1 defeat in the first-leg clash, and they are coming into the game on the back of a goalless draw against Kilmarnock at the weekend.
On the other hand, the Norwegian outfit will be a well-rested side as they have been inactive since their home win in the first-leg encounter. They reached this stage of the Conference League qualifiers after a 5-4 aggregate win over Crusaders in the previous round.
