An intriguing match awaits us on Thursday night when Trabzonspor and Rapid Wien meet in Turkey in the first leg of their Champions League third qualifying round tie.
The hosts have been unable to replicate the magic of their Super Lig title-winning campaign in 2021-22. Abdullah Avc?'s side finished sixth in the 2022-23 campaign but last season's third-place finish was a huge improvement. The Black Sea Storm also reached the Turkish Cup final before losing 1-0 to Besiktas last year.
Rapid Wien meanwhile have finished fourth in the Austrian Bundesliga in each of the last two seasons. Robert Klau?' side started the new campaign on a high, beating SK Strum Graz 1-0 last time out and I will be looking for more of the same in Europe this week.
Trabzonspor vs. Rapid Wien Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals
Defending was Trabzonspor's main strength towards the end of last season. The Turkish side kept three clean sheets in their last five games of the 2023-24 campaign and have started the new campaign in similar fashion. The Black Sea Storm didn't concede a goal in either leg against Ruzomberok and none of those games resulted in more than two goals.
Rapid Wien scored six goals in the first leg of their second qualifying round tie against Wisla Krakow, but the return leg was a low-scoring affair. Two of the visitors' last two games ended with under 2.5 goals and I fancy Thursday's game to end similarly.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals
- Trabzonspor vs Rapid Wien prediction: 1-1
Trabzonspor team news
Trabzonspor were unscathed in their win over Ruzomberok last time out, so don't be surprised if head coach Abdullah Avc? resists the temptation to make any changes.
Denis Dr?gu? scored the only goal last time out and will be joined in the final third by Trézéguet and Edin Vi??a.

Rapid Wien team news
Thierry Gale will once again be unavailablee to Rapid Wien head coach Robert Klau? this week due to a cruciate ligament injury and the winger isn't the visitors' only injury concern.
Isma?l Seydi (knee), Ferdy Druijf (muscle), Bernhard Zimmermann (cruciate ligament) and Jakob Sch?ller (bone oedema) are also expected to miss the trip to Turkey.
