Pre-match thread: Rapid Vienna v Aston Villa

[Risso]

Tricky game this - 1-1 I reckon.

[Ger Regan]

A continuation of Saturday for me, but only just. 1-0 or 2-1 i reckon.

[Concrete John]

I'll go with 1-1 draw.

Cuellar to play if fit for the European experience and Gabby as his pace may be crucial for the break aways.  Clark and carew to sit out.

I'd also play NRC if Milner is sold by then.  Would playing make him cup tied for the group stages?

2-1 to Rapid, but we'll comfortably do them at home

[Matt Collins]

A should win game for me, though a score draw would be a good result too.

I don't reckon we'll weaken the side too much - nor should we - but we might see Milner drop out, plus a couple of other changes? Perhaps Gabby or Emile for JC? Might be a good game for NRC to play.

[The Man With A Stick]

Score draw, then hammer them at home.

[BILL DE VALL]

More of the same
we will rip them a new orifice

[flybo]

1-0 Villa win

[curiousorange]

Without wanting to tempt fate I can't see anything but a Villa win.

[Ads]

They've just lost their best player to Rangers and they're mediocre at best, Villa win.

[ADVILLAFAN]

This game will see me legging it home from work to try and catch the kick-off.

I'll go for 1-1.

[apercus]

They've just lost their best player to Rangers and they're mediocre at best, Villa win.

Not. Jelavic doesnt switch to Rangers.

It depands on whether Jelavic plays or not. Because of Rapids bad defense Villa will win 1-0 in Vienna.
If anyone needs anything (local knowledge...) contact me.
The atmosphere will be even better than last year.

[JUAN PABLO]

Villa win.    0-1    Albrighton shot from edge of box....

[Phil from the upper holte]

1-1 Carew for us, I want to keep my 100% record so far this season

[hipkiss92]

I thought we would have an easy win last year and was proven horribly wrong, but I think we have more experience and won't make the same mistakes again, so I'm going for a 2-1 win, with us eventually going through 5-2 on aggregate.
