Vienna then took back control with two lates goals before a Dundalk penalty reduced the gap in the final moments.

How is the group shaping up?

Dundalk are bottom while Vienna have three points.

Molde have six in second place while Arsenal are top with nine. Mathematically Dundalk can still qualify but it will be tough and they may well need three wins from their final three games to do so.

Judging by how the game in Austria went though, this could be their best chance to pick up a win.

Team news

Patrick Hoban, who scored the first goal in the 4-3 loss to Vienna, is out after he underwent ankle surgery.

David McMillan, who has been in good form of late, is likely to lead the line in Hoban's absence.

Sean Murray and Dane Massey are also doubtful.

Vienna have a number of injury concerns too with Dejan Ljubicic, Christopher Dibon, Dalibor Velimirovic, Dejan Petrovic and Philipp Schobesberger all unavailable.

Odds

Dundalk win: 11/2

Draw: 7/2

Rapid Vienna win: 2/5
