A win is probably Rapids last chance to advance
In the past few years, SK Rapid Wien has regularly participated in the European competition due to good national placements. The greatest successes in the recent past at international level were surviving the Europa League group stage in the 2018/2019 season and in the 2015/2016 season. Since the "green-whites” were runner-up in the Tipico Bundesliga last season, they were allowed to take part in the Champions League qualification.

Betting tip and forecast
Both clubs put the first two group matches in the sand, but SK Rapid Wien is the clear favorite against FC Dundalk on Thursday. The club from Vienna has 15 times the squad value of the Irish and has more experience in competition. The Austrians also have a run in the Tipico Bundesliga and are extremely strong at home.
Free soccer tips
On the other hand, FC Dundalk is in a bad form and has not won any of the last 4 competitive games. However, since the betting odds on a simple victory for Rapid Vienna are not very high, we prefer the tip that Rapid wins the first half. The green-whites did this in 5 of 6 league games. Alternatively, we recommend a handicap bet in favor of the host as we think Rapid will win by at least 2 goals difference. The tip on over 2.5 goals is another useful betting variant.
