Rapid Wien, on the other end, is currently slotted 3rd on the Group B table. The Austrian side is at par with second-placed Molde and has a far better goal difference compared to their opponents. However, a loss to Molde back in October has pushed them down to the third position as they find themselves out of the top 2. After losing their first 2 matches, Rapid Wien got back on track with two successive wins and remain in contention for a top 2 finish.
