Rapid Wien will host Djurgarden at the Allianz Stadion on Thursday in the second leg of their 2024-25 UEFA Europa Conference League quarterfinal clash. The home side have picked up big results over the past week and have a foot in the semifinals of the continental showpiece.
They picked up a 2-0 home win over Austrian Bundesliga title contenders Austria Wien in their most recent outing and will be looking to take inspiration from that when they make their return to continental action on Thursday.
Djurgarden, on the other hand, have struggled for results in recent games, most recently suffering a 2-0 defeat to Hammarby on Sunday as they recorded their second loss of the new Allsvenskan season.
Trending
The visitors were beaten 1-0 in their first-leg clash with Rapid last week and were the slightly better side in the closely-contested affair in Sweden before an own goal from Hampus Finndell midway through the second half handed their opponents a slim advantage ahead of Thursday's decider.
