Austria Wien - Beitar Jerusalem
Austria Wien host Beitar Jerusalem in Conference League qualifier
Austria Wien return to Generali Arena holding a slender 2-1 advantage from the first leg of this Conference League Qualification tie against Beitar Jerusalem. Their recent form offers a mixed picture; a strong 5-0 cup win against Wiener SC and a 2-0 victory over FK Liepaja in the previous round show attacking potential, but this was punctuated by league defeats to LASK and Wolfsberger AC. The home side will be looking to consolidate their lead and secure progression.
Beitar Jerusalem face an uphill task as they seek to overturn the deficit from the first leg. Their qualification journey so far has been hard-fought, notably progressing on penalties against AEK Larnaca after drawing their second-leg encounter. While they secured a 1-0 away win against AEK Larnaca earlier in the competition, their recent 2-3 home defeat to Austria Wien highlights the challenge ahead. They must find a way to break down the Austrian defence to stand any chance of advancing.
