On Wednesday, starting with 18:00, the Lok match will be played. Zagreb – Rapid Vienna, within the Champions League qualifiers.
Lok. Zagreb comes after a big day victory in the domestic championship: 1-0 against Rijeka, one of the main candidates to win the domestic trophy. However, the premises for the dispute with Rapid Vienna are not at all “pink” for the Croatian band. It lost 6 players from the start last week: 5 of them are quarantined due to the Covid virus: 19, while newcomer Djira is injured. Besides this, we must mention the fact that despite the victory with Rijeka, we must not forget the stinging defeat suffered by Lok. Zagreb in the first stage: 0-6 against the great rival in the capital, Dinamo. In this context, we believe that his mission will be extremely difficult in the match with Rapid in the preliminaries of the Champions League.
On the other hand, the only “minus” that we could pass on to the Austrian team is represented by the fact that Rapid has not yet played any official match in August. Even so, the team from the Austrian capital had fun in the 4 friendly matches they had: 4-1 with Drassburg, 5-3 with Opava, 3-0 with Liberec and 7-0 with FC Juniors. In this context, taking into account all the aspects mentioned above, we cannot help but rely on a solid evolution of the guests.
No official match in the new competition season for Rapid Vienna;
Lok. Zagreb, 2 defeats in the last 3 official matches;
Lok. Zagreb, under 1.5 goals scored in 5 of the last 6 games.
PREDICTION: Rapid Vienna to win @ 1,85
