Leveraging Djurgardens vulnerabilities, Rapid set to capitalize
In a crucial encounter, Rapid is set to take on Djurgarden in Stockholm. Both teams are facing personnel issues, with Rapid dealing with injuries to Wurmbrand and Schöller, who will be unavailable for the match.
Djurgarden, on the other hand, has only one fit defensive midfielder due to some unspecified personnel issues. The Swedish club has also been affected by the late registration of three new signings, who will not be eligible to play in this match.
Rapid coach Robert Klauß has expressed confidence in his team's chances, citing their good form and the potential boost Guido Burgstaller could provide. Burgstaller is traveling with the team to Sweden and could make a comeback as a substitute, according to Klauß.
However, Klauß has also warned about Djurgarden's recent good home games and the potential slippery nature of the artificial turf surface. He has urged his players to be cautious and maintain their focus throughout the game.
Sangare, who is suspended, will not feature in the match. The identity of the potential wildcard player that Rapid could use in the game against Djurgarden remains undisclosed.
The match is scheduled for 9 pm and will be live on Canal+ and Sport24 live ticker. Fans can tune in to watch this exciting encounter between two teams eager to secure a victory.
