In a repeat of last year’s fixture, Aston Villa will travel to Vienna to see if they can progress in the Europa League. This time they will be without the help of Martin O’Neill who came in for criticism last year for fielding a weakened team. Villa lost out there and eventually went out on the away goals rule. See if they go further this year with live streaming football on oleolefootball.watchlive.net.

Kevin MacDonald will have his work cut out as his side is undoubtedly demoralized by a lack of investment and stability at the club. With it being no secret that some of their best assets in Ashley Young and James Milner being made available to clubs at the right price, it’s unsure whether they will be used. If they’re used it will mean they can’t play in European games for potential buyers. Villa face an uneasy time as it’s believed they will have to sell in order to buy players. They will probably play a deep counter attacking game and hope to return to Villa Park with a draw.

Rapid Vienna, the most successful side in Austria will be confident of a move through to the next stage of the Europa League given Villa’s predicament. The Gerhard Hanappi Stadium will see Rapid Captain Steffen Hofmann lead his side by example as usual but it’s unknown whether want away striker Nikica Jelavic will feature. New striker Atdhe Nuhiu will be ready to step up to the plate if he is needed as a lone front man. See the live streaming action at oleolefootball.watchlive.net.

To get to this stage of the competition, Rapid had to overcome a stern test from the Cyprus Cup winners APOP, the game finally finishing 2-2 on the night after extra time with Rapid qualifying 4-3 on aggregate. In the round before that they comfortably saw off Vllaznia Shkoder 8-0 on aggregate.

Aston Villa, for their part, started their English Premier League campaign at the weekend with a home game against Wigan, which they surprisingly lost 2-0. That was not the start Martin O’Neill’s men had anticipated, especially as much was expected of them this season. Despite tailing off somewhat at the backend of last season, the team felt, or feel, they have enough in the locker to reproduce the form that kept them in fourth position for much of last season.
