Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
Thursday’s football game between Rapid Vienna and Debrecen will bring down the curtain on the first leg of the Europa Conference League third qualifying round. Rapid aim to kickstart their Conference League campaign in style and their performance in a 4-0 crushing of Altach is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Debrecen. Both Ante Bajic and Aleksa Pejic have been struggling with injuries of late, while the opposition back-line should have experienced forward Guido Burgstaller at bay.
The Hungarians, meanwhile, booked their place in round 3 by beating Alashkert on penalties, but they face an uphill task in the upcoming two-legged tie. Considering that important defender Janos Ferenczi should miss the game with injury, we believe that punters from all around the globe can discover favorable odds in placing bets on the home 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.
