Background
Background information
Rapid Wien finished the 2013–14 season in second place.[1] Normally, the second place team would have entered the second qualifying round.[1] However, Red Bull Salzburg, who qualified for the 2014–15 Champions League, won the 2013–14 Austrian Cup.[1] Therefore Rapid Wien will start in the Play–off round.[1]
In June 2014 it was announced that the new Allianz Stadion will be built in place of Gerhard Hanappi Stadium.[2] Therefore, Rapid hosts its home games in the Ernst Happel Stadion this season and the pre-season game against Celtic F.C. was the last game ever played in the Gerhard Hanappi Stadium.
