Omonia Nicosia vs Rapid Wien Prediction and Betting Tips | 12th December 2024

Omonia Nicosia host Rapid Wien at the GSP Stadion on Thursday for their clash in the 2024-25 UEFA Europa Conference League, aiming to end their three-game losing run in the competition.

Having begun their campaign with a crushing 4-0 defeat of Icelandic minnows Vikingur Reykjavik, the Shamrock's bubble was quickly burst. Hearts, Gent and Legia Warszawa all inflicted consecutive losses upon them as their Conference League run derailed with each passing game.

Now, with just three points in four games, the Cypriot outfit are down in the 28th position in the standings, and out of contention to reach the knockout stages. However, all's not lost yet. They are just one point adrift of the progression spots, and have three more games in hand to resurrect their European campaign.

Meanwhile, Rapid Wien are flying right now, sitting in fourth position in the league table with 10 points from four games. As things stand, the Austrian side are going directly into the last 16.

But they won't take anything for granted, as their recent form hasn't been the best. Wien have failed to win any of their last five games in all competitions, but will look to cut themselves some slack with a positive result on Thursday.
