Rapid Vienna vs Dinamo Minsk Betting Tips

There has been a big gulf in class between these two sides in this group. Rapid are level on points with Villarreal at the top of the group with 4 wins from 5 games and have already safely booked their ticket into the knock-out stage. They need to better Villarreal’s result against Viktoria Plzen to win the group but with a massive game in the Austrian League at the weekend away to fellow title hopefuls Salzburg, who they are currently level on points with, they are likely to rest players for this one.

That should give Dinamo Minsk, who are already out, half a chance of getting a result. They’ve only got 3 points to their name so far but were only beaten 1-0 when they met Rapid in Belarus earlier in the group.

They seem to have improved since then as well. They conceded late in their most recent meeting with Villarreal to again lose narrowly 2-1 and were winners last time out against Viktoria Plzen to record their first points of the campaign.

They have nothing to lose in this match and in similar circumstances 12 months ago they won 2-1 away to Italian giants Fiorentina on match-day 6 so they might fancy causing another shock on the road here.

Certainly at 4/5 Dinamo look good value when starting with a +2 goal handicap against what is likely to be an under-strength Rapid Vienna side.

Whether they have quite enough to cause a shock is more doubtful though. They generally struggle away from home in Europe and might just slip to another defeat here but it should be close.

Therefore consider having a punt on a 2-1 home win at odds of 8/1.
