Rapid Vienna Preview – Can Rapid Vienna gain 1st leg lead?
After only narrowly losing out to Czech Republic side, Sparta Prague, in the 2nd qualifying round of the Champions League, Rapid Vienna will hold home advantage for this 1st leg of their 3rd qualifying round tie in the Europa League against Cypriot visitors, Anorthosis.
The Austrian hosts have lost just two of their last 10 matches overall in all competitions and includes five wins during this period, one of which was their 1st leg 2-1 win against Sparta Prague in their recent Champions League tie.
Results on home soil in the Europa League have also been promising where Rapid Vienna have been concerned as the hosts have lost just two of their last 12 ties at home in this competition.
Anorthosis Preview – Can Anorthosis win five on trot?
Anorthosis have won their last four matches on the trot heading into this important 1st leg in Vienna on Thursday night at the Allianz Stadion, but it should be noted that all four of these victories were achieved in pre-season friendlies.
In addition, three of these four wins were also recorded at home while results (and wins) away from home have been sporadic at best; just three away wins from their last eight matches on the road in all competitions shouldn’t unduly worry Rapid Vienna here.
On the Europa League stage, Anorthosis have lost six of their last nine away ties at this level and this doesn’t bode well for this trip to Vienna on Thursday night.
