There will be very high temperatures on Thursday, but the wont be a big problem for both teams because the game is set in the evening. Normally Rapid is very strong at home, so it will be a very tuff game for FK Suduva.
1 leg, FK Suduva 0: 2 Rapid Vienna.
I think that Rapid Vienna will win the game. First of all because they are very strong at their own stadium and second of all, because they want to conciliate with their fans after the 4:0 defeat against Wacker Innsbruck.
The best odd for "win Rapid" you will find at myBet, Interwetten and Bet365.
