Rapid Vienna vs Mattersburg Prediction & Betting tips
Start in the new season of the Austrian Bundesliga! This weekend the Tipico Bundesliga will start in the 2017/18 season. Rapid Wien will be hosting SV Mattersburg at the Allianz Stadium in the opening round of the first round.
Both teams made a successful start in the first round of the Cup with their convincing victories. The preparation games of both teams were also highly positive.
In the previous season, the four direct duels ended with two wins for Rapid and two points. Mattersburg could not win any of the last seven direct duels. The Viennese went five times as the winner of the course and twice the team separated with a tie. Especially in the home of Rapid, the Burgenländer have big problems. It is the 25th game of these two teams in the home stadium of Rapid outside the door. Mattersburg was only able to score four away victories. 15 of these 25 games ended with a win of Rapid Wien.
Rapid Vienna :
Rapid was able to shape the previous “Hineingleiten” into the new season positively. There was not a single game lost in the match, with a 2-2 draw against the French champions, AS Monaco. The game of the Viennese against the AS Monaco is worth mentioning. Although such a preparatory game can not be overestimated, a draw against the Championsleague semi-finalists can be considered as a success. The start to the Cup season also made a 2-0 victory against SC Schwaz. The Viennese had no great problems against the regional rival and rose confidently into the second round.
The coach of coach Goran Djuricin is well-balanced and well-staffed at every position. However, some failures must still be tolerated. There will be missing Philipp Schobesberger (RM), Giorgi Kvilitaia (MS) and Ivan Mocinic (ZM), who are in the build-up training. Philipp Malicsek (ZM) and Christopher Dibon (IV) will also have to pause after their injuries. Whether new entry Boli Bolingoli (LV) can already be a topic for the squad after training, will still show.
Mattersburg :
Like Rapid, the SV Mattersburg had a good preparation for the new season. The test was mainly against opponents from the surrounding area. Among others they played the last two test matches against Hungarian teams. In the penultimate preparatory game, they beat SC Soroksár 4-0 and the last test against Szombathelyi Haladás ended with a 1: 1 draw. The first cup hurdle was overcome. Against the Salzburg regional rivals FC Pinzgau Saalfelden, the Burgenländer won through 6: 1 and went into the second round of the Cup.
Personell, the team around Cheftrainer Gerald Baumgartner in the transfer time on the spot strengthened. The Mattersburg runners got promising talents from other Austrian teams, which gave the offensive a new impetus. Smail Prevljak (MS) and Masaya Okaguwa (LA) were lent out of delivery and Salzburg. Andreas Gruber (LM) came from Sturm Graz without a lift and certainly raised the level of the Mattersburger Offensivabteilung. On the defensive, Patrick Farkas, a new lawyer, was called after the departure of the Mattersburg ruling class. Florian Hart came free from the drop-off SV Ried. Otherwise the tribe of the team from the previous year remained. Gerald Baumgartner did not complain about injury for the first league game of the season.
