Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
Omonia and Rapid Wien square off against each other at Neo GSP Stadium in what is expected to be an interesting Conference League game. Omonia kicked off their Conference League campaign in style, with the team beating Vikingur Reykjavik 4-0 at home ground, but they are on a three-match losing run ahead of the visit of Rapid Wien. Both Alioum and Erakovic are pushing for recalls to the starting XI, while there are no fresh injury concerns in the home team.
The Austrians, on the other hand, failed to win the previous five games in all competitions, but they are enjoying a successful Conference League campaign as well. Rapid looked sharp in front of goal in the Bundesliga derby against Salzburg (2-2) at the weekend and given Omonia’s attacking potential at home, there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. All Zimmermann, Mmaee, and Druijf are out of contention with injuries for the away team.
Highlighted Team (Rapid Vienna):
Rapid Wien are considered the most successful club in the history of Austrian football. In 2008 the capital club won their 32th domestic title and in 1995 they clinched their 15th Austrian Cup trophy. Die Grun-Weissen were founded back in 1898 as Erster Wiener Arbeiter-Fussball-Club and one year later the club was renamed to Sportklub Rapid Wien.
In 1904 the club’s colours were changed to green and white and they have been wearing green and white shirts ever since. In 1985 Rapid made it to the Cup Winners Cup final and it has to be noted that they participated in the final competition in 1996 as well. Famous German footballer Lothar Matthaus was in charge of the team between September 2001 and May 2002, but he failed to record a good result with the Weststadion outfit.
Weststadion has been the home ground of Rapid Wien since 16 July, 2016 and you should bear in mind that the capacity of the stadium is 28 000. Rapid’s fiercest rivals are Austria Wien.
