Borac vs Rapid Wien Prediction and Betting Tips | March 6th 2025

Borac will host Rapid Wien at Gradski Stadium on Thursday in the first leg of the round of 16 of the 2024-25 UEFA Europa Conference League campaign. The hosts will hope to maximize their home advantage to go ahead in what could turn out to be a difficult tie.

Crveno-plavi narrowly qualified for the knockout phase after finishing 20th in the league phase and only defeated Olimpija 1-0 on aggregate in the playoffs thanks to a 91st-minute winner in the first leg in their home stadium. The Bosnian side, who picked up two wins, two draws and two losses in the league phase of the Conference League, will fancy their chances of qualifying for their first European quarterfinals in over three decades.

Rapid Wien had an impressive league phase, finishing in fourth place with four wins, one draw and one loss. The Austrian side have, however, struggled domestically, with their victory over Altach last weekend marking their first win in seven league fixtures and will be hoping to build on that win by getting a result when they travel to Bosnia and Herzegovina this week.
