Our prediction for this Europa League match:
Sparkles will be flying when Wisla Krakow and Rapid Vienna take on each other at Stadion Miejski im. Henryka Reymana in what is expected to be an exciting Europa League clash. Wisla Krakow aim to build on back-to-back wins over FK Llapi, but Rapid will pose a much bigger threat for the Poles than their previous rivals. Angel Rodado, who has already scored two goals in the Europa League qualifiers this term, is likely to prove a handful for the opposition back-line.
The Austrians, on the other hand, did well to hold AC Milan to a 1-1 draw in their last warm-up game. Rapid Vienna have big ambitions for the 2024/2025 Europa League campaign and seeing that the club chiefs have reinforced the squad, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visitors. Summer recruit Mamadou Sangare is likely to make his official Rapid Vienna debut against Wisla.

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.
