by Devesh Jaganath in Conference League Predictions
The second match in the opening-round double-header of the 2024-25 Conference League will see Istanbul Basaksehir hosting Rapid Vienna on Wednesday afternoon. Boz Baykuslar earned entry to this competition by finishing fourth in the Super Lig last season, while Rapidler came fourth in the Austrian Bundesliga. Check out our prediction below.
Istanbul Basaksehir came through qualifying for this competition with flying colours, winning five of their six matches, with a goalless draw away to St Patrick’s Athletic being the only exception.
Notably, Boz Baykuslar only conceded a single goal during that time against La Fiorita, while their last five matches saw them score nine goals and keep consecutive clean sheets.
At home, Basaksehir are on a five-match winning streak and are yet to drop a single point this season. They have also scored two or more goals in every match at Basaksehir Fatih Terim Stadyumu this term.
Meanwhile, Rapid Vienna took down Trabzonspor in their first Europa League qualifying tie but came up agonisingly short against Braga, losing the tie 4-3 on aggregate.
Since then, though, Rapidler have been in solid form, unbeaten in their last five matches, winning three and drawing two, including their most recent outing against LASK over the weekend.
While the visitors' away record is not the greatest with one win in their last five, they only failed to score in one of those matches.

Our Istanbul Basaksehir vs Rapid Wien Prediction
This looks like a fairly well-balanced fixture, and the bookies seem to concur with not much separating these two in terms of odds. However, Istanbul Basaksehir are the current favourites, understandably so, given their impressive home record.
Rapid Vienna, despite not managing the best away record of late, do carry proper attacking threat, and while they may struggle to win this match, we feel they will get on the scoresheet. Our Istanbul Basaksehir vs Rapid Vienna prediction: Both teams to score!
