Austria Vienna welcome Borac BB to the Generali Arena for the first leg of the UEFA Europa Conference League second qualifying round on Thursday (July 27).
The hosts are coming off a 7-0 win at SV Spittal in the Austria Cup on Friday. Manfred Fischer scored a brace to inspire his side to the comfortable victory. Borac, meanwhile, have not been in competitive action since a 2-1 defeat at Sloga Doboj in their final game of the season in the Premijer liga BIH in May.
They booked their spot in the Conference League qualifiers courtesy of their runner-up finish in the Bosnian Primeja liga last season. Vienna won the Austrian Bundesliga Conference League playoffs to book their spot at this stage.
The winner of this tie face either Ordabasy or Legia Warsaw in the third qualifying round.

Austria Vienna vs Borac BB Prediction
Vienna started their new campaign with an emphatic win in a game they were expected to win in the Austrian Cup. They will look to build on that by claiming another routine win in the continent to extend their European sojourn.
Borac, for their part, are relative newbies at this stage and will look to remain in the tie ahead of the second leg rather than attempting to win the first leg outright.
Expect Vienna to claim a routine win and also keep a clean sheet.
