Rapid Wien team overview
Rapid Wien enters this one on the back of a commanding 3–0 away victory against SV Wienerberg in the Austrian Cup first round. The Green-Whites are currently enjoying an excellent run of early-season form, having put together a five-match winning streak across all competitions.
With coach Johannes Hoff Thorup’s men returning to the Allianz Stadion, they will aim to extend a dominant home streak that includes recent emphatic friendly victories over Panathinaikos (4–1) and Hamburger SV (3–2).
Young forward Moulaye Haïdara remains their main man, boasting a hot goalscoring streak with two crucial goals over his last two competitive appearances.
Crucially, star winger Yusuf Demir is fully available for selection here because his domestic suspension does not carry over into European competition, leaving the hosts with a fully loaded attack.

FC Santa Coloma team overview
FC Santa Coloma enters this one on the back of a tough 3–1 home defeat against SK Rapid Wien in their UEFA Conference League second qualifying round first leg. Colomencs have experienced a solid start to their continental campaign despite that setback, registering two wins and one loss across three competitive matches this season.
With coach Dani Luque’s men traveling to Vienna, they will look to replicate an away form record that already features a crucial 1–0 road victory over Penybont in Wales during the previous round.
First-leg goalscorer Pedra Muñoz remains their main man, keeping their slim qualifying hopes alive after finding the net against the Austrian giants last Thursday.
Fortunately for the visitors, the squad faces no fresh noticeable absentee concerns due to injury or form ahead of this massive reverse fixture.

Prediction
Rapid Wien holds all the cards in this second leg. The Green-Whites should comfortably control the tempo at the Allianz Stadion. Expect Johannes Hoff Thorup's side to take a cautious approach initially given their two-goal aggregate advantage. However, the visitors must chase the game. This will open up spaces later on. Another lively second half awaits. A professional 2-1 victory for the Austrian giants looks like the smartest play.
Three reasons we expect at least two goals in the second half of this encounter
- Rapid Wien scored three times in each of their last four matches.
- Santa Coloma have scored in each of their last four outings.
- All four goals in the first leg came in the second half.
