On October 2, Başakşehir Fatih Terim will host the match of the 1st round of the Conference League, in which Istanbul will play against Rapid Vienna. We share a detailed prediction from Dailysports experts.
“Istanbul”
The team in the 2020th year formalized the first in the history of the championship. Almost the whole of the next season it spent on celebrating, rolling to the bottom of the table. But then it always managed to finish either in fifth or, as in the last cycle, in fourth place.
Thus, “Başakşehir”, which had a good start in its championship, got the right to start in the qualification of the Conference League. There it was beaten twice both La Fiorita and Saburtalo, and only in Ireland the Turks were stopped, playing with them 0-0. But in the home, return match they made a solid 2-0 with “St. Patrick's”.
“Rapid Vienna”
The club managed to become the champion and cup winner not only of Austria, but also of Germany - after the “Anschluss”. Now, however, “green-and-white” is only a historical grand that has moved to the second role. The 32nd title was won in 2008. And last season brought a good, by current times, fourth place.
Now Robert Clauss' wards have started well - they score exactly two points on average per game, which allowed, amid the instability of opponents, to lead the championship table. And not enough to play in the main round of the Europa League. In qualification, they beat Wisła Kraków and Trabzonspor twice each, but Braga scored a goal more - 1-2 and 2-2.
Match Facts
- “Istanbul” started with ten matches without defeat, but then they were 0-2 away to ”Samsunspor”
- “Rapid Vienna” lost only twice in all competitions since the beginning of the season
- “Istanbul” wins the first half in 34% of matches, ‘Rapid Vienna’ wins in 40% of matches
Probable line-ups
- “Istanbul” - Schengeser - Shahiner, Opoku, Güreler, Leo Duarte - Ozcan, Ergün, Pelkas - Davidson, Türüç, Pentek
- “Rapid Vienna” - Hedl - Auer, Ro-Jao, Cvetkovic, Bolla - Grgic, Sangare, Seidl, Jansson, Burgstaller - Bello
H2H
The match will be the first in the history of the relationship between the clubs.
Istanbul vs Rapid Vienna Prediction
Bookmakers consider the Turks the favorite. They are good at home, and we venture to believe that they will beat the Austrians (odds - 2.05).
