By finishing 2nd in the standings behind RB Salzburg in Austria, Rapid Vienna has given itself the right to play in the Champions League play-offs. Unfortunately for him, he ended up losing in the final against La Gantoise (2-1). Very good since the resumption of the season in the league, the Greens and Whites have garnered 16 points out of 18 possible but this is still insufficient to stand up to RB Salzburg who is in the lead with 18 units. However, they remain on 4 wins, the last of which against Rheindorg Altach (3-1) last weekend. On the other hand, the Austrians got off to a bad start in this group after having to bow against Arsenal (1-2) despite a good match and then against Molde (1-0) on Thursday.
For his part, Dundalk is practically going it alone in Ireland with 5 titles obtained in the last 6 seasons. Discarded from the 1st round of the C1 dams by Celje (3-0), the Lilywhites were able to dominate Inter-Club Escaldes (0-1), the Moldovans of Sheriff Tiraspol (1-1, 3-5 TAB) and the Faroese from Klaksivk (3-1) to validate their ticket for this competition. On the other hand, they suffered during the first two days in this group, losing against Molde (1-2) than against a B team of Arsenal (3-0). It is also quite complicated for the reigning Champions of Ireland on the national scene since they are 3rd in the standings with 15 points behind the leader after their draw conceded this weekend against Saint-Patrick’s (1-1 ).
The workforce for Rapid Vienna vs Dundalk
If we put aside the promising defender Ullman who was called up for the Austrian election, the strength of Rapid Vienna is quite unknown. On the offensive side, the trio Kara (4 goals), Fountas (4 goals) and Kitagawa (3 goals) could start this meeting. Otherwise, substitute attacking midfielder Szanto, long-time injured Velimirovic, important defender Dibon and striker Schobesberger are all missing.
In Dundalk, no player is known to the French-speaking public. However, striker Hoban continues his good season after scoring 10 goals in the 14 games he played in the league this season. For this game, defender Massey should be the only absent.
