Our Prediction for Istanbul vs Rapid Vienna
Basaksehir has been unable to replicate the recent peak of winning the Turkish championship. However, they have consistently finished in the top five, securing European qualification. Last season, they placed fourth in the league. Rapid Vienna similarly finished fourth in the Austrian Bundesliga, a relatively standard result for the historic giant of Austrian football.
In the new season, Istanbul Basaksehir has shown mixed results, from a solid victory against reigning champions Sturm Graz to a 0-3 defeat to Blau-Weiß Linz. However, they remained competitive and managed to stay at the top. Their most recent result was a draw against LASK. Basaksehir, under coach Çağdaş Atan, started the season well with 10 points from the first four games, but lost 0-2 to Samsunspor in mid-September. They bounced back with an away win over Sivasspor.
Rapid Vienna began their European journey in the Europa League, progressing past Wisla Kraków and Trabzonspor, winning all four games. However, they were narrowly beaten by Braga (1-2 in Portugal, 2-2 at home), sending them to the Conference League. Basaksehir, starting directly in the Conference League, won all their matches against La Fiorita, Saburtalo, and St. Patrick's Athletic, except for a 0-0 draw in Ireland.
