⭐ Editor’s Prediction
The key trends all point to a dip in Rapid’s attacking output: the team have failed to score more than once in each of their last six matches, and their home fixtures consistently feature a low goal tally from the hosts. Their lackluster attack is compounded by a poor run of form, making it hard to back Vienna’s side to deliver up front. In our view, the best bet for the return leg is Rapid under 1.5 goals (individual total).
