👌 Rapid Vienna are in good shape
Rapid Vienna finished second in the Bundesliga last season but had the same points as the third, Sturm Graz. However, the goal difference defined Rapid as 2nd, which is the main reason for them to play in the Champions League, not the Europa League. Rapid finished the season with 3 losses from 4 games and were really very close to a serious failure in their attempt, but at the moment they look fresher and ready for a new strong season.
⏩ Sparta Prague have been a goal team lately
Sparta Prague were the second strongest team in the Czech Republic last season, but well behind the local rival, Slavia. Sparta have made some important transfers so far such as Pesek, Hojer, and especially the defender Hancko from Fiorentina, who cost the team over 3 million euros. The last 4 games of Sparta, which were friendly, went through BTTS and Over 2.5 goals.
We expect goals
Rapid is a slight favorite according to the bookmakers, but we will bet on the goals. Rapid overall impressed with a strong attack last season, and especially as a host they rarely miss scoring. Sparta, on the other hand, as we mentioned, are currently mainly relying on their attack as well, so here the prediction is BTTS at 1.61.
