Evenly Matched: Djurgården and Rapid Vienna Eye Semi-Final Spot

Djurgården face Rapid Vienna in what looks to be a tightly contested tie in the Conference League. There wasn’t much to separate them in the group stage, with the sides finishing 5th and 4th respectively in the overall standings. Both teams won four, drew one, and lost one, each scoring 11 goals. Rapid Vienna edged ahead due to conceding two fewer goals, which saw them finish one place higher.

They’ve since knocked out weaker opposition in the last round, and having avoided the tournament’s top teams in the draw, both sides will see this as a real opportunity to reach the semi-finals.

Rapid Vienna are slightly the better team on paper and will go in as favourites to progress, but Djurgården not having to play league matches for much of their European campaign could prove to be a key advantage, with fresher legs potentially helping to level the playing field here.

This is likely to be a close contest and one that could still be in the balance going into the second leg. Both teams have shown they’re capable of scoring, so a goal apiece looks likely in what should be a competitive first leg.
