Rapid Vienna vs Copenhagen prediction, H2H - December 19, 2024
On December 19, at the Allianz Stadium, Rapid Vienna will face Copenhagen in the 6th round of the Conference League group stage. For this match, we suggest betting on goals, cards, or the winner.
Rapid Vienna
A historic giant in Austrian football, Rapid has struggled to keep up with Red Bull Salzburg and now Sturm Graz in recent years. Last season, the Green-Whites finished fourth, which sent them into the Europa League qualifiers. There, after defeating Wisła Kraków and Trabzonspor, they were narrowly defeated by Braga (1-2 in Portugal, 2-2 at home).
Dropped into the Conference League, the Viennese side started well, winning consecutive matches against Istanbul, Noa, and Petrocub. However, they stumbled at home against Shamrock Rovers, drawing 1-1, and in the last round, they lost 1-3 to Omonia.
Copenhagen
Copenhagen has long been accustomed to success in Denmark. However, last season, they finished third in the Superliga. On the positive side, they reached the Champions League knockout stages, overcoming Galatasaray and Manchester United to achieve that feat.
The team has been in strong form in the Danish Superliga this season, and since mid-summer, they’ve been focused on the Conference League. In the qualifiers, Copenhagen successfully defeated Magpies, Baník, and Kilmarnock. They started the group stage with a shock defeat to Jagiellonia, followed by draws with Betis and Istanbul. However, they picked up form, beating Dynamo Minsk and Hearts 2-0.
Match Facts
