All set ladies and gentlemen at Luminus Arena after the players have finished warming up and are about to return to the pitch.

In a few minutes the initial whistle will be given.

Let's go guys!

The pre-warming up by both teams has ended. The players head to the locker room to finish dressing up and fine-tune some details.

In a few more minutes this match will begin, a very important game for the aspirations of the teams for a possible next round.

The final match of Group H will take place tonight as Rapid Vienna travels to face Genk in what is a crucial match to determine who finishes second in the group.

While the visitors cannot mathematically advance to the next round, this is a must-have match for hosts who could reach the knockout stage in this edition of the UEFA Europa League.

The players are already doing warm-up work prior to the start of the game.

The weather is cold but pleasant to play soccer.

This is Rapid Vienna's starting eleven for tonight's game in Belgium:

This is the home team's starting roster for this game:

On behalf of Rapid Vienna, Maximilian Hofmann could be an option once again for tonight after his being sidelined by Covid-19, but that will depend on a negative test before the game.

Bernhard Unger is also unavailable at the moment, as has been the case since early November with Paul Gartler as Rapid Vienna's head goalkeeper. So the coach will have to make adjustments to his starting eleven before the start of the game.

With the arrival of 𝗕𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗸 as coach at this point, the starting line-up could be different for Genk, who is in desperate need of getting back on the winning track tonight. We will see what adjustments the new coach makes in his debut.

However, there is a fully fit team available and offensive attention will be placed on Joseph Paintsil as he is ready to lead the attack for the Belgian team.
