As part of one of the matches of the group stage of the Europa League, the players of Rapid and Genk will come face to face. On whose side will the victory be in this meeting? Our sports portal gives a forecast for this meeting.
"Rapid"
The Austrian team is seen as almost the underdog of its group, but it is unlikely that the Viennese team will just give up to its rivals. In the national championship, Rapid is in 9th place, having only 8 points in its asset. The gap from the top six is only in terms of additional indicators. In their last match, Rapid could not demonstrate the best game and lost to Admira at home with a minimum score of 1: 2.
"Genk"
Belgian teams perform well in European Cup tournaments, and Genk is no exception. But the guests did not start in the best way in the national championship. The team managed to score only 11 points in 6 rounds, and now it is located on the 5th line. In the last meeting, Genk could not win at home, having painted a draw with an opponent 1:1. It is worth noting that the guests are one of the contenders for leaving the group.
Statistics and figures:
- Rapid is a small favorite of the meeting;
- Rapid has 3 wins in 5 previous games;
- The Belgian team has a 3-match series without defeats;
- The last face-to-face meeting of the rivals ended with a score of 1:0 in favor of Genk.
Forecast
As a rule, the victory of the team playing on its own field is recorded in the games of these teams. At least, this was the case in the two previous meetings of the teams. I bet on the Austrians in this match, based on the history of the relationship between the rivals.
