Rapid Wien - SC Braga: Form Analysis
Rapid Vienna had a strong start to the 2024/25 season, building on a great preseason with five straight wins. That run was broken by a draw in their domestic league but they resumed with two straight wins.
However, their biggest challenge came in the shape of Braga in the first leg, and they failed the test. The Austrians suffered their first defeat of the season in Portugal and on returning to domestic action, attempts at recovery went awry.
They were thrashed 3-0 by Blau-Weiss Linz in their most recent game. Before their back-to-back losses, Rapid had conceded just a goal in the earlier five matches but have now conceded five times in two.
Some resetting will be needed here, and after consecutive away games, they’ll welcome a home return. Robert Klauss’ side has four straight wins at home.
To advance in this competition, Braga must keep their unbeaten start intact.
Sporting Braga’s undefeated start to the season will meet the sternest test so far in Austria. The visitors had the best preparation for this game, winning 3-1 at home to Moreirense in the Portuguese Liga.
That result marked their fourth straight win ahead of their trip to Vienna. The only negative for Braga will be the fact that they have only kept one clean sheet in the last five matches.
They staged an impressive comeback after conceding first at home to Rapid but may need to do better away from home. In Rapid’s home form, Braga may struggle should they concede first again.
It helps that their away form in this competition has been impressive lately; they have three straight wins on the road in the Europa League.

Rapid Wien & SC Braga Squad Analysis
Rapid Vienna had more than just the score line going against them in Portugal. They had to deal with Lukas Grgic’s fourth minute red card and he stands suspended for this game.
Bernhard Zimmerman is also set to miss this game though his case is down to injury. He is recovering from an ACL injury while Noah Bischof also misses out with a muscle injury. Drena Beljo scored three in the last four home matches and will be a possible starter as the hosts seek a win.
Both teams parade forwards in good form and we expect it to translate to a high-scoring game.
The visitors will be without Armindo Bruma, who lasted just 23 minutes of the first leg. His replacement, Gabri Martinez should continue here especially after scoring on Sunday.
Rodrigo Zalazar scored his fourth and fifth goals of the season on Sunday and he will be fired up for this game. He also netted in the first leg meeting in Portugal.
Rapid Wien - SC Braga Key Points
- Rapid Vienna failed to score once this season.

Our Rapid Wien vs SC Braga Prediction
These two sides haven't managed a lot of clean sheets in recent matches. There needs to be some tightening up in defence for the two teams ahead of this game. That will also be necessitated by the kind of attacking quality both teams parade.
The hosts have Drena Beljo on three goals in the last four home matches. On the other hand, the visitors have Rodrigo Zalazar with five goals for the season. With such talent in current form, we expect goals here. Our prediction for Rapid Vienna v Sporting Braga is for both teams to score.
Rapid Wien vs SC Braga - Other Interesting Predictions
Over 2.5 goals
Three of Braga’s five Europa League games this season have produced over 2.5 goals. Three of their last four matches have also had at least three goals.
Rapid’s last two matches saw six goals scored and we feel the coming game will also be high-scoring. Our second prediction for this match is for over 2.5 goals.
