Petrocub arrive in Edinburgh on Wednesday aiming for a result against Hearts despite already being eliminated from the UEFA Conference League. The Moldovan club cannot reach the next stage, unlike their hosts, who are chasing victory to secure a spot in February’s knockout round play-off.
Andrei Martin, the Petrocub head coach, promised that his team intend to finish the league phase strongly by getting a result in Edinburgh. “We can say that it is an opponent with a name in Scottish football, a participant of European football, a team with traditions,” said Martin when discussing Hearts.

We want to do well, we want to show our level, we want to reach our maximum so that Petrocub is a force. We want to show a good match and we want to be happy with everyone after the match.”
The Moldovan champions are without several first-team regulars for this trip but defender Ion Jordan is available. He echoed his manager’s sentiments. “The last match of this competition is this year, against Hearts,” said Jordan. “[They have] a very dynamic style of play, very aggressive.
“This year was a dream for us, after we won the league and cup, we qualified for this beautiful competition, and we want to finish it well. We hope for a positive result and we will see how it will be after the match.”
