This promises to be an action-packed encounter for Gent at GHELAMCO-arena when the Champions League tournament arrives in town and Rapid Wien with it. Read all about the 3rd Qualifying Round match here!
It's no vacation for neither Gent nor Rapid Wien as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Rapid Wien have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

In their previous game, the manager L. Bölöni led his Gent to a defeat in the Pro League match away at AS Eupen. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at GHELAMCO-arena. Heartbreak before that as Gent lost 0-1 at Antwerp's place.
