Istanbul Basaksehir vs Rapid Wien Preview

Rapid Wien are attackingly-oriented squad, seven of their last eight matches ending with BTTS. Istanbul Basaksehir kept just one clean sheet in last four attempts, so I am backing both sides to find the net in Turkey.

Head to Head

This is going to be the first head to head match between Istanbul Basaksehir and Rapid Wien.

Istanbul Basaksehir Form

Istanbul Basaksehir’s recent form has been good, claiming three victories in their four Super Lig appearances in September.

The most recent contest was last weekend against Sivasspor, getting away with a 2-1 win with Joao Figueiredo scoring a brace. Earlier last month, the Owls lost to Samsunspor 2-0 but beat Bodrum FK 1-0 and Antalyaspor 5-2.

Cagdas Atan’s side qualified for the Conference League group stages by beating St Patrick’s Athletic. After a goalless draw in Republic of Ireland, Istanbul Basaksehir claimed a 2-0 win in the reverse tie, Omer Sahiner and Olivier Kemen on target.

Istanbul Basaksehir Injuries & Team News

Captain Omer Ali Sahiner has been injured since late August, missing five games total.

Defender Leo Duarte, a standard member of starting lineup, is also injured since mid-September.

Rapid Wien Form

Rapid Wien made it to the Europa League playoffs by eliminating Trabzonspor 3-0 on aggregate and Wisla Krakow 8-2 on aggregate but got knocked out by Sporting Braga 4-3 on aggregate and slipped into the Conference League.

They are having a decent season in the Austrian Bundesliga, claiming 15 points in the opening eight rounds and sit in 2nd place, one point short of Sturm Graz.

After earning back to back victories in mid-September against Austria Wien 2-1 and Donaufeld 3-1 (Austrian Cup), the Green and Whites were held to a 1-1 draw last weekend by LASK Linz, Guido Burgstaller breaking the deadlock in 27th minute but they conceded early in the second half.

Rapid Wien Injuries & Team News

Winger Thierry Gale remains out due to cruciate ligament tear.

Ryan Mmaee, Isak Jansson, Ferdy Druijf and Jakob Scholler are also sidelined.

Verdict

Istanbul Basaksehir v Rapid Vienna

While being in very good form, hosts struggle to keep their net intact recently. Rapid Wien have seen BTTS in seven of their last eight games, so this is the best bet on Wednesday.
