Gent hosts Rapid Vienna in the semifinals of the Champions League qualification. The match will be played on Tuesday, September 15th at Ghelamco Arena (Gent)
Last year Gent won the silver medals of the Jupiler League but was very far behind the champion Brugge (by 15 points). Before that, the team did not even get into the number of prizewinners in its championship for three seasons in a row. In short, Gent is not a grandee of Belgian football. The team's European Cup experience is also very modest. This season, Gent has had a very bad start. Having lost four times in five matches, the team is in 15th place in the standings.

Rapid Vienna is the most titled club in Austria. It won the championship of its country 32 times and had 14 national cups. It happened a long time ago, but Rapid can be called a strong team even now, although they do not belong to the grandees of Austrian football in recent years. Rapid confidently dealt with Admira in the first round (4:1), starting the season on a positive note and demonstrating excellent game conditions.
I don’t see a big difference in the class of the teams, so I will bet on a plus handicap of the visitors. Still, the hosts started very badly in their championship, and their opponents were far from the strongest, but defeats follow one another. Not everything is in order in the camp of Gent! I think the visitors should offer a battle.
Prediction for the match: Rapid Vienna to win with +1.0 handicap
