SK Rapid Wien progressed to the UEFA Conference League qualifiers after a convincing display against FK Dečić, while Dundee United saw off UNA Strassen. The match will be held in Vienna, where the hosts will aim to build on their promising early-season form.
SK Rapid Wien
SK Rapid Wien secured their spot in the qualifiers by finishing fifth in the Austrian Bundesliga and overcoming LASK (4:3 on aggregate) in the play-offs. After a 1:3 defeat in the first leg, Rapid Wien mounted a dramatic comeback with a 3:0 victory in the second leg, netting the decisive goal in the 95th minute. Since then, the squad has gone nine matches unbeaten, including friendlies. In the current campaign, they have already registered four wins — two against FK Dečić, one in the Austrian Cup, and one in the league.
Dundee United
Dundee United returned strongly to the Scottish Premiership in the 2024/25 season, finishing fourth. In the UEFA Conference League qualifiers, they comfortably overcame UNA Strassen with a 2:0 aggregate score. However, a 2:2 draw against newly promoted Falkirk in the opening round of the Scottish Premiership has raised some questions. Dundee United is on a five-game unbeaten streak, but their away record remains a concern, with just one win in their last seven away fixtures.
SK Rapid Wien vs Dundee United Prediction
Rapid Wien are in good form and strong on home soil, while Dundee United have enough in attack to find the net, though their defensive vulnerabilities remain. A high-scoring contest is anticipated, with the hosts unlikely to suffer defeat.
