SlipsTips examines the Bet Builder market ahead of Hearts’ Europa Conference League opener with İstanbul Başakşehir on Thursday evening.
Hearts vs İstanbul Basaksehir (Thursday, 17:45)
Heart of Midlothian begin their 2022-23 Europa Conference League campaign with a home match against İstanbul Başakşehir on Thursday evening.
Robbie Neilson’s side parachuted into Europe’s third-tier competition following their Europa League playoff round defeat against FC Zurich last month.
As for the Turks, they roll into Tynecastle in the midst of a 10-match unbeaten run, not to mention they’ve got decent European pedigree after participating in the group stage of the Champions League two seasons ago.
Consequently, İstanbul Başakşehir enter this contest as general 11/10 favourites, however I’m going to swerve the outright betting and instead make use of Sky Bet’s Bet Builder function.
Coupling up over three Hearts corners alongside 30+ match Booking Points will bring about an enticing even-money (SkyBet) play.
Although Hearts are in a bit of a slump at the moment, this fixture will represent a momentous occasion for a sell-out Jambos crowd who should give their team a much-needed jolt.
As such, I’m happy to back the home team to clock up at least four corners against their Turkish guests – a line they have covered in recent matches against both FC Zurich and Celtic.
I’ll complete the recommended bet by throwing 30 + Booking Points into the mix in what promises to be a keenly-contested affair.
All nine of the hosts’ competitive contests this season so far have generated at least 30+ Booking Points, and it’s also worth pointing out that Polish whistler Krzysztof Jakubik is averaging a sizeable 55 BP per-game this term to date.
What’s more, the above-mentioned Bet Builder would have delivered profit in Hearts’ recent European encounter at home to Zurich, and that only adds to the appeal of supporting the same formula in Edinburgh on Thursday evening at evens (SkyBet).
Recommended Bet
- 4+ Hearts Corners
- 30+ Match Booking Points
- Bet Builder – 1/1 (SkyBet)
