Rapid Vienna vs Salzburg Prediction & Betting tips
Commerce against tradition! The season in the Austrian Bundesliga opens on Friday evening with an extremely explosive game. In the Austrian capital, SK Rapid Vienna and Red Bull Salzburg face each other. A duel of contrasts, especially the fans of the Green-Whites have found their enemy in Red Bull Salzburg.
From a sporting point of view, the elf from the city of Mozart has long outstripped the green and white people of the capital. Demand and reality have dwindled miles apart in the past few years for the Austrian record champions, while Red Bull Salzburg has been virtually unrivaled and wins one title after the other. Nevertheless, much of the direct duels have been extremely close in recent years. Rapid Wien always succeeds in making the existing gap in direct duels far smaller. Nevertheless, Rapid Wien is against Red Bull Salzburg according to current odds on Friday evening, the clear outsider. The start of the match at the Allianz Stadium is on Friday at 19:45.
Rapid Vienna:
Another year without Europe is a bitter reality for the SK Rapid Wien. The Hütteldorfer missed again the qualification and can accordingly concentrate again this year exclusively on the Bundesliga. Despite the partially unacceptable performance in recent years, there is currently a mood of optimism among the Green-Whites. Didi Kühbauer has managed that a little peace has returned to the club. Despite losing the Cup final and not winning Europa League Play-Off, the mood is quite positive. However, it is also clear that there are no excuses this year and a sovereign qualification for the upper play-off requirement.
In 2019/20, Rapid will often be seen in a new system. Didi Kühbauer has taken a liking to the variable 3-5-2 system. Defensive stability through the two defensive-oriented winger with possession of the ball and offensive power when own possession should be the means of success. The cup match against the Regionalligisten Allerheiligen gave in any case courage, although the 9-1 victory should not be overrated. Rapid bristled with the joy of playing, a fact that has not existed for a long time.
There have not been any major changes in the squad this summer. Accordingly recorded are the “Don Didi” protégés. This advantage, as well as the fact that Rapid often acted strong in the duels against the Bulls, allows for the start of the new Bundesliga season in the game between Rapid Wien and Red Bull Salzburg quite a forecast of good odds on a surprising victory / point win the home side appear interesting.
Red Bull Salzburg:
The Austrian champions Red Bull Salzburg achieved 58 million euros in transfer revenue this season. Possibly follow at least 20 more, should the upcoming deal from Diadie Samassekou to Borussia Dortmund come true. With players like Munas Dabbur, Xaver Schlager, Stefan Lainer and Hannes Wolf, the Bulls have made a strong quartet.
On the side of the newcomers, well-known names are not to be found, but young, promising talents. Due to the previous squad movements, the competition in the Bundesliga but has quite hope that the championship 2019/20 could be exciting again.
At first glance, Salzburg has certainly lost quality. However, the bulls have plenty of replacement in their own ranks. Players such as Dominik Szoboszlai, Erling Bride Haland, Patson Daka, Antoine Bernede or Leihrückkehrer Majeed Ashimeru is the next step daring this season. Nevertheless, new coach Jesse Marsch, who followed Marco Rose, will certainly not have an easy task. The expectation is huge and any loss of points will be criticized for sure.
Despite the many departures Salzburg showed in the preparation strong as a bear and beat, inter alia, Feyenoord Rotterdam 3-1. After the sovereign cup victory against Parndorf (7: 1) the bulls also celebrated in a friendly against the Turkish Süperlig club Kayserispor a 3-0 victory. There should be no lack of self-confidence, yet we have stomach ache in the duel between Rapid Vienna and Red Bull Salzburg in a forecast on the victory of the Elf from the city of Mozart. We do not find value for money between Rapid Wien and Red Bull Salzburg on current odds.
