Zürich vs Heart of Midlothian Europa League play-off first leg | Zurich v Hearts Live Football #ucl #europaleague #hearts Manager Robbie Neilson wants to mark Hearts' first European tie in six years with a lead over Swiss champions Zurich to take back to Tynecastle. Thursday's Europa League play-off first leg has been moved 80km to St Gallen's stadium due to a concert being held at Zurich's Letzigrund home. After ending their 13-year title wait last season, Zurich are bottom five games into the new Swiss season. "It's a great occasion and one we're confident for," Neilson said. "It helps us a wee bit coming here. I don't expect the crowd to be as big as it would be in Zurich. We'll bring a couple of thousand over as well, which will help us. "Although it's not Zurich's home, it's still a difficult place, but we want to try to win it." Zurich have already lost in St Gallen this season - 2-0 to the home side in the Swiss Super League last month. Hearts sit third in the Scottish Premiership after an undefeated start, beating Ross County and Dundee United at home and drawing away to city rivals Hibernian. Zurich, under new manager Franco Foda, knocked out Northern Irish champions Linfield 5-0 on aggregate in the previous round. However, that came after losing their Champions League qualifier 5-4 to Qarabag of Azerbaijan. Hearts hosts Zurich in the second leg next Thursday and the winner of the tie progresses to the group stage, with the loser dropping into the Europa Conference League groups. isports | All about sports | Live football | Live Cricket | Live Tennis | Live F1 Live Golf, Live Rugby and Lots More.
