After the clear 3-0 win in the first leg, the Viennese already have one leg in the group stage of the Europa League.
SK Rapid would like to fix the club's ninth participation in the Europa League group stage on Thursday in Ukraine. In Zorya Luhansk's alternative quarters in Zaporischschja, the Hütteldorfer do not want to let the butter off their bread after 3-0 in the first leg – although they know about the attacking strength of the opponent. The starting position is “not the worst, but it does not mean that it will be a walk,” said coach Dietmar Kühbauer.
“We already knew before the first leg that Luhansk was a really good team. They had really good moments offensive,” said Kühbauer, recalling the numerous opportunities that were not used last Thursday. At the end of the event, the guests in the Allianz Stadium had a really black day.
Rapid shouldn't allow so many chances this time in the Slavutytsch Arena (kick-off 6.30 p.m. / live ORF 1), otherwise there would be another tremendous game. “With one goal, I am convinced, we are completely through. But I think that we need a very good performance for it,” emphasized Kühbauer.
