Rapid Vienna also show nice results in Europa League this season. The team is third in the group with five points and solid chances for the next stage of the tournament. Austrian side won their home fixture against Genk, drew twice with Sassuolo, 1-1 and 2-2, and lost to Athletic, 0-1. At the same time, the team are suffering a slight decline in results, recording one point in three matches with 0-1 loss to Wolfsberger and 1-2 to Salzburg.
Considering impressive results of Belgian team at home where they’ve beaten both Italian and Spanish side, we should expect nothing but another win of Genk. Moreover, recent form of Rapid suggest they won’t be a worthy opponent.
Prediction for the match: Genk to win.
