Trabzonspor or MFK Ruzomberok are SK Rapid’s next possible opponents on the way to the group stage of the Europa League. If Rapid beat Wisla Krakow in the second round, they will face the third-placed team in the Turkish Süperlig or the Slovakian Cup winners in the third qualifying round on August 8th and 15th. Austria Vienna will face Djurgården or Progres Niederkorn in the Conference League qualifiers. This was the result of the draw on Monday.
Rapid starts the European Cup season on Thursday (6 p.m.) in Poland and on August 1 (8:30 p.m.) in Hütteldorf, on the same day Ruzomberok and Trabzonspor will also determine the promoted team. The seven-time Turkish champions are the favorites. If the team with Turkish team goalkeeper and European Championship participant Ugurcan Cakir, who did not play in Germany, is promoted, Rapid could see Taxiarchis Fountas again. The Greek striker played for Hütteldorf from summer 2019 to March 2022. The Viennese would initially play away.
Austria would have to return to Scandinavia
If Rapid were to be eliminated against Krakow, they would move on to the third qualifying round of the Conference League against the winner of FK Sarajevo from Bosnia-Herzegovina or Spartak Trnava from Slovakia.
Austria, which will face Ilves Tampere away on Thursday (6 p.m.) and at home on July 31 (8:30 p.m.) in the second Conference League qualifying round, could have to travel to Scandinavia again if it is successful. In the third qualifying round, they will face the Swedish second-placed team Djurgården from Stockholm or the Luxembourg cup winners Progres Niederkorn. Austria would have home advantage in the first game.
