The Jambos host the Baden-Wurttemberg club in Gorgie on matchday three of the Conference League on Thursday
Neil Critchley insists Hearts are eyeing a second Scottish Bundesliga bashing in just three days against Heidenheim on Thursday night.
“We’ve made a good start to the tournament and we have to capitalise on that. We are at home. We're trying to take another step forward and get three points. If we do that, we'll be in a really positive position. Critchley has done his homework on the club - and knows Hearts will need to step up the levels even from that which comfortably saw off Omonia two weeks ago in Gorgie. He said: “We’ll need a very strong mentality. Heidenheim, because they're used to winning games and having success, they know how to manage games very well, winning or losing.
“Winning, preparing properly, training properly, breeds that winning mentality that it doesn't matter who you're playing against and what competition you're in, it becomes a consistent way of behaviour, a collective way of thinking, a collective way of behaving. Therefore, as a club, we know what we stand for, we know what to expect.
