The capitals were also part of the Europa League inventory last season. In the group stage, the team struggled very hard against the competition Arsenal, Molde and Dundalk. Only two of the six preliminary rounds were to be won. There was also a draw and three defeats. In the end, seven looted points were only enough for the ungrateful third place, which sealed the exit.
The great successes on the international level have been achieved several years ago. In the Europa League, the intermediate round was the measure of things. Rapid usually had to clear the sails after the group phase. As runners-up this season, the Viennese had the chance to qualify for the premier class through the qualifying rounds. The team started in the second round and even won the first leg with 2:1 against the Czech record champion Sparta Prague. However, the second leg was lost 0-2. For this reason, Rapid entered directly into the third qualifying round of the Europa League. In this, A. Famagusta was eliminated. In the play-offs, two victories were won against Zorja Lugansk (3-0, 3-2).
The odds reveal the eleven of coach Dietmar Kühbauer rather than underdog in terms of group victory. West Ham is a clear favourite. After all, it could be enough with that little bit of luck for second place.
So far this season, the Kühbauer-Elf has not been able to build on the strong performances of the past. Only two out of seven entries were won. These two threes are matched on the other side by two draws and three defeats. The dress rehearsal was lost 1-2 to Admira Wacker on Saturday.

Last year, Genk did not play on an international level. Most recently, the KRC even competed in the premier class in the 2019/2020 season. But in Group E with Liverpool, Naples and Salzburg, I had anything but easy tasks before my chest. After six encounters, only one lean counter was on the side of the board. This was only enough for the last place in the table and the associated retirement.
So far, the team has enjoyed great success on an international level. After all, the Europa League quarter-finals were reached in the 2016/17 season. There Celta Vigo had finished 2:3 and 1:1. The fact that Genk is able to continue this performance this season is unlikely. The odds for the group victory bring the Belgians rather as underdog to the fore. The fact that the team of coach John van den Brom is struggling against big teams was already evident in the Champions League qualification. As runner-up, Genk started in the third qualifying round, but lost both games to Donetsk 1-2 and moved directly into the group phase of the Europa League.
In the Jupiler Pro League, the runner-up has recently found his way back on track and is looking at a series of four pairings without defeat. Three victories and one draw were won. Most recently, the points were split 1-1 on Sunday with Union Gilloise. In the table, Genk ranks 5th.

Both teams are not among the favourites in the Europa League. Genk is even in the group H set as a clear underdog and will not have it easy to winter in the competition. For Rapid, on the other hand, a threesome would be desirable, because the opponents will not get any easier with Zagreb and West Ham. In the course of our betting tip prognosis, we consider the home team from Vienna to be stronger, but advise in any case to secure the draw.
