Rapid Vienna vs Salzburg Prediction & Betting tips
In Austria the season in the Bundesliga ended last weekend with the games of the last game day. But this week, Austria can already look forward to a thrilling duel, as on Thursday, June 1, the Wörthersee stadium will be playing for the Austrian Cup between Rapid Wien and Red Bull Salzburg.
Rapid Vienna :
The Rapid Wien team looks back on a turbulent season in which not only the manager Andreas Müller had to take his hat last November but also Mike Büskens. At first Damir Canadi took over the team, but also under this new practice leader did not go up for Rapid Wien in the Bundesliga. For this reason, the club’s managers looked for a change of coach after a 3: 0 away on the 28th day at the SV Ried. From this point on, Goran Djuricin was responsible for the Rapidler.
This time there was also a sustained upward trend for the Hütteldorfer, who were able to score 5 victories from the last 8 league games. Lastly, three victories were made in the series and Rapid Wien were the first to take home 1-0 in the home game against Sturm Graz and then Rapid celebrated a 3-1 away win at SV Mattersburg. At the end of the season, there was a duel with St. Pölten on the program, and goals from Christopher Dibon and Christoph Schösswendter were still a 2-0 home defeat at the Allianz Stadium. Bottom line, a 5th league table leapt out in the league, but does not take part in the international business. Therefore the fans of Rapid Wien hope for a success in the Cup final. In the semifinal, Rapid beat LASK Linz very hard and only in the final minutes did Joelinton mark the decisive goal for the 2: 1 victory, which brought the entry into the final.
Rapid Wien was able to bring a turbulent season in the past weeks through a good series to a conciliatory end. On Thursday the coach Goran Djuricin will try everything to get the trophy back to Hütteldorf after more than 20 years. It remains to be seen, however, which star will be going to the final. Questions such as Schaub, Szanto, Mocinic and Kvilitaia are also questionable.
Provisional lineup: Knoflach; Sonnleitner, Pavelic, Auer, Thurnwald, Wöber; Schwab, Hofmann; Szanto; Murg, Kvilitaia
Salzburg :
Red Bull Salzburg are again the benchmark for all things this season, so the team of coach Oscar Garcia has once again secured the championship in an impressive way. In the end, RB Salzburg came on 25 wins and 6 draws in the league and had to beat only 5 times in the Bundesliga. Salzburg ended the season with 81 points, gaining 18 points ahead of Austria Vienna. On the penultimate match day RB Salzburg had to compete again with the Austria and there the team of coach Oscar Garcia after a good half hour already with 2: 0 behind. But just before half-time, a goal from Amadou Haidara was at least the final meeting. In the second round, Red Bull took the initiative and was able to make a 2: 2 away win in just two minutes, with a double strike from Hee-chan Hwang and Valentino Lazaro. On the final day of the match, RB Salzburg took leave of the roughly 10,000 spectators in the home of the Red Bull Arena with a happy 1-0 win against SCR Altach, where the visitors scored the only goal of the day. In the Samsung Cup, RB Salzburg once again reached the final in the semi-final of the competition with 5: 0 against Admira Wacker.
The coach Oscar Garcia has already successfully defended the Austrian Championship from the previous year with his team. On Thursday, Red Bull Salzburg will now also make the title defense in the trophy perfect. Almost all the players are on board and only the long-time injured Dmitri Oberlin will probably be missing in the cup final.
Provisional lineup: Walke; Miranda, Schwegler, Ulmer, Wisdom, Samassekou, Lazaro, Berisha, Laimer, Wanderson, Minamino
