Atletico Bilbao were comprehensively beaten by Sassuolo 3-0 in their opening match of the Europa League. With Rapid Wien also defeating Genk in the 3-2 thriller, Bilbao come into the matchday 2 sitting at the bottom of the group table.

Athletic Bilbao were losing quarter finals of the Europa League 2015/16. They made it to the first knockout round topping their group. They were also unbeaten at home until the first leg defeat to Sevilla at the San Mames in the quarter finals.

Rapid Wien sit third in the Austrian League after 9 matchdays into the new season. They are unbeaten at home, but problems are in their away run. They managed just 1 win away from home from 5 matches this season, with 3 draws and 1 defeat to their name.

The Austrians topped their group last season by winning 5 of their 6 games. But were eliminated in the round of 32 after suffering two heavy losses to Valencia in which the aggregate score stood at 10-0. /http://leaguelane.com/
