Villarreal vs Rapid Vienna Prediction & Betting tips
This Thursday the cast of Villarreal goes to get its first victory in the UEFA Europa League, when in the Ceramica Stadium receives the visit of the Austrian Rapid team of Vienna, in game that corresponds to Group G.
Villarreal:
Those led by Javi Calleja have been very irregular so far this season, especially after that 0-3 victory in their visit to Athletic Bilbao that has been the only one in the last five games.
This irregularity has led the yellow submarine to be placed in the 16th box with 9 points in the same amount of games and has to be careful since only one point separates it from the red zone.
Within the positive is that the restart of the Yellow Submarine League added a draw to a goal against Atlético de Madrid and it is expected that this can motivate a team that at the moment do not know of wins in the European League where they have tied his two games, first a 2-2 at home against Scotland Rangers and then a 3-3 in his visit to Spartak Moscow, and now who would be the most accessible opponent of the team can not fail.
Rapid Vienna:
For their part, those led by Dietman Kuhbauer are not having a good time either, so the Die Grun-Weisen comes from losing 3-0 in his visit to Hartberg and with it they have fallen to a disappointing ninth place in the Austrian Bundesliga with 12 points in eleven games but he knows that he can still recover and fight the first places in the local league.
At the moment they are focused on regaining positions in the Europa League where they debuted with a home win by 2-0 over Spartak Moscow but unfortunately they could not repeat the story in their visit to Scotland Rangers where they were defeated 3-1 and with it they stayed in the second place of the group, but now they want to go to Spain to give the surprise and get a result that will allow them to increase their chances of qualifying to the next stage of the tournament and on the way leave a favorite to win the tournament. group as is the yellow submarine.
In terms of direct confrontations, these teams met in the group stage of the UEFA Europa League in the 2015/16 season and each won their home game, first Rapid Vienna made it with a score of 2-1 and then Villarreal won 1-0 at home.
