Match preview
Rapid Vienna host Heart Of Midlothian in the playoff round of the UEFA Europa Conference League following a vibrant 2-2 draw in their first-leg meeting on August 20. The Austrian side head into this home clash with substantial momentum, having posted four wins and one draw across their last five fixtures across all competitions.
Rapid Vienna have been particularly potent in attack, scoring 17 goals across their last five fixtures, including an 8-0 victory over Grazer AK and a 2-0 win over Paide at home. Their home record stands at two wins from two games with eight goals scored and two conceded. Meanwhile, Heart Of Midlothian displayed resilience to earn a 2-2 draw on home turf in the previous encounter, but face a challenging test on the road.
With both teams having already produced a four-goal thriller in their single previous head-to-head meeting, another attacking contest is expected. Under the GENIUS risk calibration, Rapid Vienna's strong home form and unbeaten recent run make a Double Chance backing on the hosts the most balanced selection.
