The final two matches of the 2024/25 Bundesliga season are on the schedule. These are the home and away matches between LASK and Rapid Vienna for a place in the upcoming Conference League. Both clubs are keen to participate in the European Cup as it is not only attractive from a sporting perspective but also brings much-needed money into the club's coffers. LASK Linz had to beat Hartberg 2-0 to reach this decisive clash. An early goal from Maximilian Entrup and one from Andres Andrade after the break sealed the Athletic Club's place in the final. Meanwhile, Rapid Vienna were in the championship group finishing with 27 points, while Linz led the relegation group with 38 points. However, the capital city team faced tough competition for weeks. The toughness of the competition should not be underestimated and this clearly speaks in favor of the men from Vienna, especially since their recent results have been quite presentable. First, Austria Vienna and Sturm Graz were defeated, before the loss vs RB Salzburg.
