Prediction: 1-0
Wisla Krakow
All eyes will be on Allianz Stadion when Rapid Vienna and Wisla Krakow lock horns in the Europa League second qualifying round, return leg. The Austrians won the first leg (2-1) and they must be high on confidence following a 2-1 triumph over Neusiedl in the domestic cup. Bear in mind, though, that Hungarian defender Bendeguz Bolla misses the second leg through suspension. The Poles, meanwhile, face a difficult task in the reverse fixture.
As Wisla have no other choice but to go all guns blazing at SK Rapid, we predict that the hosts are going to seal the victory on the break. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the away team, Spanish forward Angel Baena Perez should sneak into the starting XI. Wisla Krakow head coach Kazimierz Moskal is widely expected to stick to the 4-2-3-1 formation.
Highlighted Team (Rapid Vienna):
Rapid Wien are considered the most successful club in the history of Austrian football. In 2008 the capital club won their 32th domestic title and in 1995 they clinched their 15th Austrian Cup trophy. Die Grun-Weissen were founded back in 1898 as Erster Wiener Arbeiter-Fussball-Club and one year later the club was renamed to Sportklub Rapid Wien.
In 1904 the club’s colours were changed to green and white and they have been wearing green and white shirts ever since. In 1985 Rapid made it to the Cup Winners Cup final and it has to be noted that they participated in the final competition in 1996 as well. Famous German footballer Lothar Matthaus was in charge of the team between September 2001 and May 2002, but he failed to record a good result with the Weststadion outfit.
Weststadion has been the home ground of Rapid Wien since 16 July, 2016 and you should bear in mind that the capacity of the stadium is 28 000. Rapid’s fiercest rivals are Austria Wien.
