Rapid Vienna vs FC Copenhagen Predictions

• Rapid Vienna have failed to win any of their last five matches
• Copenhagen are on a 14-match unbeaten run and have won six games on the spin
• The Danes were 2-1 winners on their last European away trip to Dinamo Minsk

In-form Danes can snatch away win

Rapid Vienna and Copenhagen are both vying for a top-eight finish in the league phase of the Conference League and while the Austrians have home advantage and sit two points better off than their opponents in the standings, it is the Danes that are expected to prevail.

Copenhagen lost their opening match of the league phase at home to Jagiellonia Białystok, but they are unbeaten in 14 matches across all competitions since and they head to the Austrian capital on a six-game winning run.

That sequence includes back-to-back Conference League victories over Dinamo Minsk and Hearts – they scored twice in both of those wins – and momentum appears to be with Jacob Neestrup and his side.

Rapid limping into the knockout stages

By contrast to Copenhagen, Rapid Vienna’s form has nosedived over recent weeks, as they have gone five games without a win across all competitions and suffered a first defeat in this season’s Conference League away at Omonia last time out in Europe.

Rapid are unbeaten in their last seven European home games, but they did lose to BW Linz domestically in their most recent home fixture and they may come unstuck again.

A point may be enough for Rapid to finish in the top eight, but only a win will give Copenhagen that chance and that extra clarity could help the Danes edge to victory, perhaps by the same 2-1 scoreline they beat Dinamo Minsk by in their last European away trip.
