Rapid Vienna vs Djurgarden Prediction

The first-leg of this UEFA Europa Conference League quarter-final tie last week saw Rapid Vienna pull off a 1-0 win in Sweden at 3Arena, courtesy of a 62nd minute own goal scored by Djurgarden midfielder Hampus Finndell.

Since then, after what has been a disappointing campaign, Rapid Vienna backed that victory up with a 2-0 defeat of arch-rivals Austria Vienna thanks to goals from Matthias Seidl and Mamadou Sangare. They now face a Djurgarden side that were very poor in the 2024 Allsvenskan season and they have also started slowly in the 2025 Allsvenskan with a win and two defeats in their opening three matches.

Rapid Vienna look to finally be turning a corner this season at the right time and with home advantage against a poor Djurgarden side, a semi-final berth awaits for the Austrians.

Rapid Vienna vs Djurgarden Tip: Rapid Vienna to win & under 3.5 goals
