West Ham vs. Rapid Wien Tipp & Quoten, 30.09.2021 – 21:00 o’clock
The Europa League duel between West Ham and Rapid Vienna already writes a more than clear division of roles before the kick-off. The Hammers act as a clear favourite tip at the Olympic Stadium in London and will want to fulfill this role with all their might. The Premier League club celebrated a 2-0 victory over Dinamo Zagreb on the first day of play. Rapid, on the other hand, lost 0-1 to Genk in front of home ground and is already under pressure on the second matchday. Another defeat could make entry into the knockout round much more difficult. Whether Rapid can provide a surprise against the Hammers is discussed in the following betting tip forecast.

As already mentioned, the Premier League club made a guest appearance on the first matchday in Zagreb. The visitors got off to a very dominant start and rewarded themselves with a goal by Michail Antonio after just 21 minutes. The Croats did not have much to oppose and were struggling. Since there was not much coming from West Ham in the first round, it was time for the half-time break with this result. After the re-start, only five minutes were played when Declan Rice increased to 2-0. The mass was thus read. The visitors stood defensively safe and did not allow any shots to be fired at their box throughout the entire game. In the end, victory was deserved.
During the summer break, the Hammers invested a total of 74.5 million euros in new players. A system that seems to be paying off so far. The first matchday of the Europa League was very successful. In addition, the odds make it clear that West Ham is being traded in Group H as a favorite tip for the group victory. Some sparrows even whistle from the rooftops that the Hammers are the secret favourites for winning the Euroleague. However, it remains to be seen whether this will succeed in the first participation of the Europa League.
In the Premier League, the team of coach David Moyes was back on track after three consecutive games without a win. After 90 minutes, Leeds United scored a narrow 2-1 victory. Eleven points are currently only enough to finish in seventh place in the league table.

The runner-up shows very big problems this season. This was also evident on the first Europa League matchday against KRC Genk. Both opponents met at eye level in the first round and more or less neutralized each other in the midfield. The big chances of scoring did not exist before the half-time break. As a result, they went to the locker room without a goal.
Immediately after the change of sides, Genk had more of the game and built up pressure. The Hüttendorfer were pushed into their own half, but were able to liberate themselves over time and play out chances. The conclusion of these, however, was too harmless. In the final phase of the pairing, the Belgians were playfully superior. However, there were opportunities on both sides. When everything already indicated a draw, the visitors struck ice-cold and came through Onuachu to the 1-0 final score.
Due to the bankruptcy in the first group game, the Rapidler are set as a clear underdog on progressing in the Europa League. Of the previous nine Europa League participations, only two were enough for the knockout round. A third time this season is unlikely. With a victory against the Hammers, new self-confidence is gathered.
After the last underground performances in the Austrian Bundesliga, the team also needs this bitterly. After nine matchdays, the Rapidler have arrived at the penultimate place and stand with their backs to the wall. There were three defeats and one draw. Last weekend’s dress rehearsal was clearly lost 0-3 against Storm Graz in front of a home setting. Although Rapid lost two top players in the summer break with Demir and Dejan Ljubicic, the remaining key players were retained. For this reason, the loss of performance can only be understood to a limited extent.

Although it is the first Europa League season in the history of the club for the Hammers, the Premier League club is considered to be the house-high favourite against the Hüttendorfer. All odds point to a home win. The two teams have never met before and therefore no data are available for a direct comparison. However, these are not absolutely necessary. With the current form of the Austrians, it would be like a small football miracle, insofar as West Ham leaves points in front of a domestic backdrop. For this reason, our betting tip prognosis suggests betting on a home win.
