After a hesitant start to the season, the Basques have high levels in recent weeks, managed to get three consecutive wins in LaLiga. Beyond the importance of these successes in itself is remarkable efficiency and inspiration of the team coached by Ernesto Valverde on the offensive phase, traits that were absent in the early season. Thus, we can say that Bilbao is in good shape after 2-1 victories achieved against Valencia and Granada, culminating with enthusiasm victory (3-1) in the last round played in the company of Sevilla.
Quarter finalist in the previous edition of the Europa League, the Spanish team is hoping at least the same performance, the first step is straightening the situation in this group after failure (0-3) in the opening round of the Italian land from Sassuolo.
Rapid Vienna was and it results good lately, but it is difficult to estimate to what extent the record of four wins, four draws and one defeat has relevance in the opponent in this round, the championship of Austria is well below that of Spain . However, it is noteworthy triumph in the first round of the current edition of the Europa League team coached by Mike Büskens passing Genk 3-2.
The two teams have not met so far.
The form is the owner, the value of the lot and the defeat they suffered in the opening round a sufficient reason why is because our stake to head the sequel parties made good in recent weeks.
