Thun v Hearts: Conference League preview as both sides seek a first win
Thun, still without a point in the UEFA Conference League, host Hearts, who have one point from their first two matches.
The occasion and the table
Thun host Hearts in the UEFA Conference League, and both clubs come into the match still looking for their first win in the competition. Kick-off: 5 November 2026 17:45.
The table shows how difficult the opening matches have been for both. Thun are 32nd with 0 points from 2 matches, having lost both, scored 0 goals and conceded 2. Hearts are 29th with 1 point from their 2 matches, made up of 1 draw and 1 defeat, with 1 goal scored and 3 conceded.
The gap is narrow, and a positive result for either side would lift them up the standings.
Recent form
Thun's recent results make difficult reading. Their latest match was a 0-1 home defeat to Hajduk Split. Before that, they lost 0-1 away to Twente. Prior to that defeat, they drew 2-2 at home with Lech Poznań, a result that came after a heavy 0-7 loss away to the same opponents. The oldest match in the sequence was a 2-3 defeat away to Víkingur Reykjavík. That adds up to 0 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats from their last 5 matches.
Hearts arrive in better form. Their most recent outing was a 2-2 home draw with Rangers. Before that, they won 2-0 away to Motherwell. That victory came after two away defeats: 0-2 against Trabzonspor and, earlier still, 1-7 against Celtic. The run began with a 1-1 home draw with Nordsjælland. In total, Hearts have 1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats from their last 5 matches.
Home and away records
Thun have played 1 home match in the UEFA Conference League this season and lost it, scoring 0 and conceding 1. That makes this an opportunity to earn a first home point in the competition.
Hearts have played 2 matches away from home in the UEFA Conference League this season, with 1 draw and 1 defeat. They scored 2 goals and conceded 4 in those matches.
How the two sides tend to play
The numbers point to contrasting problems. Thun have struggled to find the net: they scored in only 2 of their last 5 matches and have yet to score in the UEFA Conference League. They have also kept 0 clean sheets in that run, and both teams scored in 2 of those 5 matches.
Hearts have been more consistent in attack, scoring in 4 of their last 5 matches. Defensively, the record is mixed: they kept 1 clean sheet in that run, while both teams scored in 3 of the 5 matches.
Put together, the figures suggest Hearts have been more reliable in front of goal, while both sides have conceded regularly. Thun's ability to create chances on home turf could prove central to how the match unfolds.

That contrast between the market-based figures and the form guide adds interest to a meeting between two clubs still waiting for their first win in the competition.
