International cups are a highlight for most teams. Both Rapid Wien and Arsenal are looking forward to this Europa League fight to decide who advances from the Group Stage.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
These teams have little in common geographically as Arsenal have to travel 1400 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Rapid Wien form and stats
Last season their Europa League adventure ended in the 16th finals against Inter.Perfect Tipico Bundesliga season at home so far for Rapid Wien 2 wins from 2 appearances. It’s been three wins in a row for Rapid Wien here at Allianz Stadion, hoping to make this one the fourth consecutive victory.
A good away victory last time out for Rapid, who won 5-1 against Wiener Neustadt. Before that, Rapid had a Tipico Bundesliga home game versus LASK Linz which ended with a victory 3-0.

The manager D. Kühbauer will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Wolfsberger AC in only three days.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Rapid Wien at home in the league. 7 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Arsenal form and stats
Arsenal was sent out of Europa League in the 16th finals last season.Arsenal are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Premier League, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses). Arsenal seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
There might be some fixture complaints from Arsenal as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Premier League match against Manchester City (0-1). Before that, Arsenal secured a home win against Sheffield United with the score 2-1.
After this away game Arsenal return home for a Premier League game against Leicester City. That game is only three sleeps after this.
