Rapid Wien not in the form for such a trip
It is a very bad start, to say the least for Rapid Wien in the Austrian Admiral Bundesliga. Just two wins in eight matches saw the Green-Whites lay in the 11th position of 12 in the table. Hence, coach Dietmar Kuhbauer’s team don’t look prepared for a trip to London. Especially after a 3-0 home defeat to Sturm Graz.
While third place means a place in the Europa Conference League, Rapid might even struggle to make that. Clearly, their away record in the UEL is not encouraging as they lost ten of their last 15 trips and won four. In addition three of the last five defeats in the UEL saw the Austrians lose by three or more goals.
Rapid Wien
- Rapid won two of their last ten away matches
- The Green-Whites have no clean sheets in their last five away games
- The number of goals scored in Rapid’s last five away games id two or more
