Rapid has known his opponent for the third qualifying round of the Champions League since the beginning of the week. The Austrian runners-up will face Belgian club KAA Gent away from home. According to the Belgian club’s website, the date for the decisive match has already been set: UEFA has scheduled the match for Tuesday, September 15 at 8:30 p.m.
Rapid host Admira for the start of the Bundesliga three days earlier. Little time to recover between Saturday’s game against Südstädter (start: 5pm) and the trip to Belgium. Dangerously little, considering the relevance of the Gent game.
Because Rapid creates promotion abroad (there is no return, note), five million euros flow into the cash of the green-white club. In addition, in the play-off of the Champions League, which will be decided in the second leg, the possibility of the highest category looms. The opponent is the winner of the duel between Dynamo Kiev and AZ Alkmaar.
To increase the chances against Gent, Hütteldorfer have asked the league to advance the match against Admira until Friday 11 September. The answer followed early Thursday afternoon: TV Partner Heaven, Admira and the Bundesliga have approved the postponement of the match. The game will take place on Friday, September 11 at 6.30 pm and will be live on Sky Sport Austria to transfer. Follows at 8.30 pm the official opening match between LASK and Austria at the Linzer Gugl.

The same topic existed a year ago. However, the applicant at the time was LASK, who had to contest the league coup against Rapid between their two Champions League play-off matches against Club Brugge. The Linzers’ plan to postpone the game against Hütteldorfer failed due to Rapid’s veto. The Hütteldorfer justified its rejection at that time with the short-term character. “Three days before we meet at Vienna The idea of relocating it is quite late, ”said a Rapid broadcast.
