Rapid Wien and Omonia Nicosia will trade tackles in a UEFA Conference League fixture on Thursday (December 11th). The game will be played at Allianz Stadion.
The home side will be looking to bounce back from the 2-1 defeat they suffered to Ried at the same venue in the Austrian Bundesliga over the weekend. They went ahead through Louis Schaub's goal on the half-hour mark, while Oliver Steurer equalized five minutes before the break. Philipp Pomer scored the match-winner from the spot nine minutes into the second half.
Omonia, meanwhile, claimed maximum points with a 3-0 away win over Olympiakos Nicosia in the Cypriot League over the weekend. Willy Semedo broke the deadlock in the 35th minute. Novica Erakovic doubled their lead midway through the second half, while Semedo completed his brace later on.
