On Thursday Austria Wien hosts Aris Thessaloniki in the second leg of the UEFA Europe League Play-Off. The game is set at the Franz-Horr-Stadium in Vienna. Kickoff is at 19:00 CET and Referee will be Daniel Stalhammer from Sweden.
The last rounds were very bad for Austria Vienna, they lost very unlucky against Aris Thessaloniki in the first leg of the Europe-League Play-Off after a last minute goal. And last round at the Austrian championship they just reached a draw against KSV Kapfenberg. Now for the second leg the ambitions a very high, in front of their own fans they will reach the group stage of the Europe-League. A disadvantage for this game is of course the injuries of Zlatko Junuzovic and Manuel Ortlechner.
Before this weekend the Greek championship starts Aris has to face Austria Vienna in the second leg of the Europe-League Play-Off. Aris could win the first leg with 1:0 after a last minute goal. Now the stating position is pretty good for Aris, every win end every draw is enough for them to reach the group stage of the Europe-League.
