In the fight for the last European Cup starting place, SV Ried will host SK Rapid in the Bundesliga playoff final first leg on Friday (7.30 p.m./live Sky). While people in Ried talk about “bonus games”, for the Viennese it’s about saving an unsatisfactory season. SVR coach Maximilian Senft gives his farewell performance to the qualifying group winner. The 36-year-old’s move abroad to German second division club Karlsruher SC was official on Thursday.
