Rapid Vienna vs LASK Prediction
Rapid left themselves with a mountain to climb with their first-leg performance. They have a two-goal deficit to overcome, which could leave them susceptible to being caught out at the back. Their record in this fixture in recent years doesn't inspire much confidence, but the Green-Whites are still the favourites to emerge victorious.
LASK, meanwhile, had a relatively disappointing campaign that saw them end up in the Conference League playoff rather than competing for the Championship. They failed to score in their final three games in the playoff but saw off Hartberg in the semi-final to get here.
LASK are likely to prioritize their defensive solidity to protect their two-goal cushion. The hosts should claim a narrow win with goals at both ends but fall short on aggregate.
