At 21:00, on 8 December, Rapid will host Athletic in Matchday 6 game of Europa League, on Allianz stadium in Vienna.
Rapid have lost every chance to continue its way in Eurocups, having gained 5 points in 5 matches and are not going to be higher, than 3 place. Plus, the current shape of Rapid is far from perfect. With only one victory against Pölten, the Green-Whites have interrupted their 6-match streak without wins, which lasted since 29 October. Rapid has had 13 matches at home, having won 6 times, drawn trice and losing 4 matches.

Unlike its rival, Athletic have secured themselves the Europa League spring part, having gained 9 points in 5 matches. The Spanish squad has won all three home games, but both away games were lost to Sassuolo, 0:3, and Genk 0:1. Basically, away games are not the strongest feature on the Basques. In 10 games of the current season they only have 3 victories with 6 losses and one draw.
The opponents’ squads would probably be far from strongest, considering, that the guests have reached their goals in the group, and may concentrate on Primera up until February, and play without their leaders on Thursday. Also, considering their weak away performance, the hosts probably have a great chance to score some points in the match and bring joy to their fans.
Prediction for the match: Rapid not to lose.
