Thursday 010 UEFA Europa League Rapid Vienna VS Fiorentina

Rapid Vienna

Rapid Vienna lost 0-2 at home to LASK Linz in the last round of the league. In the past 5 games, they had 1 draw, 4 losses and no win. The recent situation continues to be sluggish, including a 1-4 defeat to Lech Poznan in the first round of the UEFA Europa League. Rapid Vienna has only scored 4 goals in the past 5 games, averaging only 0.8 goals per game, and its offense is quite weak. The problem on the defensive end is even more serious. In the past 5 games, the team has conceded 12 goals, with an average of 2.4 goals conceded per game. During this period, they have conceded goals in every game and have never been able to keep a clean sheet. The performance on both ends of the offense and defense is appalling. Rapid Vienna has suffered losses in the past two home games in a row, their home combat effectiveness has declined significantly, and their home court advantage has disappeared.

Fiorentina

Fiorentina lost 1-2 away to AC Milan in the last round of the league and suffered two consecutive losses. The recent situation is also very sluggish. Although Florence has performed poorly in the domestic league this season, the team has shown good competitiveness in the UEFA Champions League. In the past 10 UEFA Champions League games, it has scored 21 goals, averaging 2.1 goals per game, and has strong offensive firepower. The performance on the defensive end is also remarkable. Previously, in the first round of the UEFA Europa League, Olosangci finished 2-0 and successfully kept a clean sheet. They performed well on both ends of the offense and defense. Fiorentina has not won in the past 4 away games with 3 draws and 1 loss. This season's away performance is weak and its ability to grab points is seriously insufficient.

Historical record

The two sides have met twice in all competitions. Rapid Vienna has 1 win and 0 Draw, 1 loss, and evenly matched with their opponents.

The current situation of both teams is not ideal. Both teams have failed to win in many consecutive games. However, considering that Florence's performance in the UEFA Champions League is more stable, I am optimistic that Florence can remain unbeaten in the away game.
