Rapid Vienna vs Austria Vienna Prediction & Betting tips
Next Sunday is Derby Time again in Vienna! In the top game of the third round, the Austrian tipico-Bundesliga, the SK Rapid Wien will be home to the FK Austria Wien in front of a sold-out backdrop. The 322nd Vienna Derby will be played at 16:30 at the Allianz Stadium. Although the season for the Austrian clubs is only a few weeks old, you have to take a look before the first derby of the season and find that the starting position before this prestigious duel could not be any different. While SK Rapid Wien remain undefeated in second place, FK Austria Wien punktelos is on the last league table of the domestic league.
Rapid Vienna :
With a defeat in the last match of the season, in the Austrian Samsung Cup final against Red Bull Salzburg, which reflected the entire season of SK Rapid Wien, Rapid Wien sang and soundlessly fifth place in the summer break. This was clearly good for the players as the Hütteldorfer started with a good preparation, where three wins and two draws (against Monaco and Celtic) were brought in five test matches. The good preparation was prolonged with a start to measure in the season 2017/18, where the ascent (2-0 against Schwaz) into the second round of the Austrian Samsung Cup and fixed in the first two rounds of the tipico Bundesliga four points could. Even if one looked back with a weeping eye on the match against the SV Mattersburg, where a 2-0 lead was lost in the home number and at the end only one point raussprang, one made in the following week already visible progress and struck away St. Pölten Confident with 4-1.
Although not yet 100% at the SK Rapid Vienna, the performance shown so far by the team makes you want more. Rapid therefore also as a favorite or with a broad chest in front of its own audience in the 322nd Vienna Derby. The only drawback is the green-and-white hospital, which forced Goran Djuricin, coach of the Hütteldorfer, to have to give up potential potentials such as Christopher Dibon, Ivan Mocinic, Philipp Malicsek, Philipp Schobesberger, Tamas Szanto and Giorgi Kvilitaia Are replaced.
Austria Vienna :
After the second league table in the last season and the associated qualification for the Euroleague, FK Austria Wien have set themselves high goals at the start of the season: they want to take second place and challenge the favored series champion Red Bull Salzburg. In preparation, everything went according to plan, with four wins, a draw and a loss (1-2 against Zenit St. Petersburg) from six preparatory games. While they were still in the cup competitions with a blue eye, the start of the season completely failed. In the first Austrian Samsung Cup round (4-3 against Ebreichsdorf nE) and the 3rd qualifying round to the Euroleague (0-0 respectively 2-1 against AEL Limassol), the violets have each narrowly won, but without playfully convincing can. In the league, the missing form of the Austria players can be seen clearly, after two rounds as table closing light with six meetings, after games against the cashpoint SCR Altach (0-3 away) and the SK Puntigamer Sturm Graz (2-3 at home ), there.
Despite the commitment of veteran Heiko Westermann, the defensive line of FK Austria Wien is missing the necessary stability and consistency. As a result, the Austria has a lot of gaps for the opponent, which has already led to some contenders. In addition, there were two successive mistakes of the young goalkeeper Osman Hadzikic in the last two games. In addition, the uncertainty with the staff Larry Kayode, the goalkeeper king of the past Bundesliga season, is added. His representatives in the assault Christoph Monschein and Kevin Friesenbichler were not yet able to write in this season, in a duty game. However, two factors could be said for FK Austria Wien: the win in the last game against AEL Limassol, which gave the team a little self-assurance and the fact that coach Thorsten Fink can take advantage of the entire squad (except the long-time injured Robert Almer and Lucas Venuto).
