Admira vs Rapid Vienna Prediction & Betting tips
Since the season 2011/12 Flyeralarm Admira is again represented in the Austrian Bundesliga. Although the nine-time Austrian champion (last in the 1965/66 season) from the market town of Maria Enzersdorf is clearly in the shadow of the two big neighbors from the capital, Rapid and Austria Vienna, thanks to outstanding youth work in the Austrian football upper house ,
The “Südstadt” is one of the best youth centers in all of Austria and the sports management is not shy about throwing these young talents into the cold water. Again and again, young talents get a chance to present themselves on the big stage and earn the first spurs in professional football. In times of globalization, the Admira does not put second-rate legionaries in front of the Austrian youngsters, rather the young players are trained and developed.
The Admira was already the ideal springboard for a successful career for many professionals – Leipzig legionnaire Marcel Sabitzer or the long-time Austrian national player Marc Janko are just two successful examples who were allowed to enjoy their training in Südstadt.
Only five games left to complete in the basic round of the Austrian Bundesliga. After these five games, the division of the league takes place including halving the points. Even before the final match day in autumn 2019, there is a clear tendency to see what the two play-off groups will look like in spring 2020.
Above all, the relegation battle promises due to the small points distances much tension. The Admira managed to gain a little air last. In the last game of the year the Flyeralarm Admira receives the record champion SK Rapid Wien!
The hosts from the Südstadt will not necessarily be happy with the fact that after a break on the program. The Schmidt-Elf presented last extremely strong form and remained three times in series without defeat. Among other things, there was in the last home game a remarkable 1-1 draw against champions Red Bull Salzburg.
The green-whites from Hütteldorf are warned accordingly and will not take the game lightly. In the fight for the “Stockerlplatz”, however, Didi Kühbauer is only a complete success in his old workplace. The start of the BSFZ Arena starts at 16:00 pm on Saturday.
Admira:
What would the Flyeralarm Admira be without striker Sinan Bakis? One would not imagine it, but without the German Turks, the situation in the Südstadt would be extremely dull. Once again, the thoroughbred striker became the match winner for Admira last weekend.
In the basement duel against SV Mattersburg, he was only five minutes after the goal the equalizer to make it 1-1. Bakis kept his nerve in the closing stages of the penalty spot, beating them to a 2-1 victory, fixing his fourth double in the current season.
How important Sinan Bakis is for the Admira, shows only the fact that the 25-year-old has scored ten of the 17 goals this season. Apart from Bakis, only attacking midfielder Kolja Pusch has scored more than one goal (2).
The shape curve of Bakis, however, symbolizes the Admira this fall. Since taking over Klaus Schmidt, he has been shining all over. He scored nine of his ten goals under the Neo-coach.
At the beginning of the season, the Admira presented itself as a classic relegated. After a few weeks under ex-Mattersburg coach Klaus Schmidt, a clear improvement was evident. There were still setbacks but the Admira managed to stabilize the defensive. The former shooting club of the Bundesliga has had to accept only four goals in the recent five league games.
The pay for the series of three games without defeat is currently ranked ten in the table. Classified better the Admira was not in the current season. Another point win against the Austrian record champion would already be a satisfactory result for the Schmidt protégés.
The game is made more difficult by the yellow jams of Emanuel Aiwu and Fabian Menig. With that, Schmidt has to change his last stable back four to two positions. Whether this defensive stability is still secured, may be doubted. Between Admira and Rapid Vienna, the tip on a winning game is certainly understandable.
Rapid Vienna:
It seems as if the Austrian record champion is glad to be allowed to appear in foreign countries. As a host, the Kühbauer Elf can not meet the high expectations. Only two of the eight victories in the season could be celebrated by the Austrian champions at the Allianz Stadium.
Even at the prestigious Vienna derby last weekend, there was no home win. Thus, Rapid Vienna is still waiting for a victory against the archrival in the Allianz Stadium.
The 2-2 draw was extremely flattering given the first half. In turn two after a system change, the record champion presented more stable and earned the point thoroughly.
However, the Green-Whites missed the third place in the draw again, but the gap to the Wolfsberg AC is only one point after 17 games.
After the WAC is only on Sunday in action, Rapid has the chance to jump at least temporarily to third place. For this, however, the tip on the guests victory must be crowned with success between the Admira and Rapid.
A recognition of the Wiener derby is definitely the extreme dependence on Taxiarchis Fountas. The nine-time season scorer from Greece became father for the first time on Sunday and therefore left the team shortly before the start of the match. The young dad will definitely return to the formation on Sunday; his absence was clearly visible in the offensive game.
Another positive feature is the Art Nouveau in Vienna-Hütteldorf. In recent years, countless second-rate legionnaires have been committed, who knew only rarely to convince. Didi Kühbauer trusts many youngsters – also because of the great injury worries.
These absolutely pay back the trust. 19-year-old Adrian Hajdari made a surprise debut against Wiener Austria and delivered a true talent test at halftime two.
Meanwhile, Yusuf Demir has to wait for his debut. For the third time he was in the match squad, for Bundesliga minutes, however, it was not enough. On Saturday he has for the last time the chance to enroll in the record books of the Green-Whites. If he is used, he would be 16 years, six months and twelve days, the youngest Rapid player in the Bundesliga.
