Second leg with goals

Steaua Bucuresti were beaten 3-1 in the first game in Austria, but the second half was just unfair for them. They missed many important chances and they hit the post twice while it was a great day for home team's goalkeeper. We could say that a 3-2 or a 3-3 final score would be more fair for sure, as home team's defense was at least below average. In domestic league, Steaua had a win 4-1 in Vitorul's home, in a game where they took early advantage of the fact that their opponent had 10 men in the pitch from the 5th minute. Junior Maranhao (defender) and F.Tanase (attacker) served their suspensions and now they are ready for the starting line-up.

3-1 lead brings Rapid Vienna even closer to qualification, even if their defense had a hard time in the second half of the first leg, especially the last minutes after V.Berisha was sent off. Their manager didn't make any rotation and they easily won 2-1 Wacker in Austrian League. Except from suspended V.Berisha (attacker), P.Gartler (goalkeeper), P.Schobesberger (midfielder) and A.Pavlovic are not available for austrian team's manager. None of them played in the first game.

If Steaua Bucuresti play like they did in the second half in Vienna, they could easily score 2 or 3 goals and have chances to qualify. However, I think that Rapid will find empty spaces to score at least one goal in counter attacks. I believe that betting on BTTS is the safer choice.
