The second consecutive year that Rapid is being knocked down with a Greek team. PAOK was last year the Asteras. The Austrians are more ready as a team after they have already given three official games, 2 for the championship and 1 for the cup. They count 1 win and a tie while in the cup they have seen the blocking of the third-class squad in the penalty shootout. Asteras has only given friendship so far and the only conclusion that came out was that he still wants a job. Remarkable players ran out of the group like Rayo and Perone and certainly the new acquisitions take time. I'm betting on the preparedness, Rapid's team experience in Europe and their hot seat and I think they are favorites to go to the playoffs.
