In the history of these two teams, although not very recent, there have been three previous encounters: it has never ended in a draw and the away team has never won. It will be the same this time around.
Against Scottish side Dundee, a team that occasionally manages to hold its own at home but shows many technical shortcomings when it plays abroad, Austrian side Rapid Vienna has a golden opportunity. Not only to win, which we think is fairly obvious, but also to put itself in a very comfortable position in the tie, perhaps even with a big win.
At home, Rapid always scores. Every time. The last time they failed to score was in their last league game last year, a match that had no significance. So they were relaxed. This dip in form was immediately dispelled in the preseason, but that’s not all: they also won their first league game. In short, even the numbers tell us one thing: Rapid’s victory is a foregone conclusion.
