Wolfsberger AC vs Rapid Vienna Prediction & Betting tips
For years, the main question in Austria’s league has been when serial champions Salzburg will finally be ousted from the throne again. With Rapid and Wolfsberg, the two teams that were most likely to keep up with the red bulls in the preseason will now meet.
For Rapid, the new season started again according to plan, a renewed runner-up title thus seems absolutely realistic in Hütteldorf. In contrast, the WAC, third place in the previous season, is currently still having a hard time getting going.
Nevertheless, in the game Wolfsberg vs. Rapid Wien the odds on an advantage of the hosts. It is not entirely clear to us why the bookmakers favor a team that is far behind in the league with only three points so far.
Wolfsberg:
As lively and confident as the Wolfsburg-based company presented themselves in the league in the preseason, these virtues currently seem so far away. With the loss of striker Weissmann in the last summer transfer period, the WAC also lost its figurehead, which has not yet been replaced.
Sometimes inferior performances shaped the league start of the wolves. If the new season is even close to being in the direction of the European Cup starting places, then coach Feldhofer’s team should turn things around as quickly as possible.
The core of the team that was so successful in the end is still on the pitch. Hardly any injuries worth mentioning and a squad with many experienced Bundesliga players would actually form a good basis for convincing performances.
Nevertheless, it has already set three defeats, with signs of disintegration being heard again and again, especially on the defensive. The ten goals conceded so far in just four match days are almost a quarter of all conceded goals in the previous season.
There is no doubt that the Lavanttaler will face a difficult game on Sunday, as Rapid has been very convincing recently. In view of the last results, the game Wolfsberg vs. Rapid Wien a tip on the hosts hardly an option. At least one goal is Liendl and co. but still trustworthy.
If there is no sudden increase in performance on Sunday, Wolfsberg will have to wait for the first home win of the season. In any case, coach Feldhofer still has his hands full until Sunday to somehow stabilize his defense. You can see to the minute whether he succeeds in this feat via our betting base live scorer.
Rapid Vienna:
Rapid coach Dietmar Kühbauer has been completely satisfied so far. The club legend narrowly failed in the Champions League qualification with Rapid, but apart from that, it only set one more defeat in nine games of the season. Even if the game Wolfsberg vs. Rapid Wien see the betting odds a little differently, from our point of view nothing will change in this statistic on Sunday.
As you can see in our list of current suspensions and injuries in Austria, Rapid is the team that currently has the most players to play. Nevertheless, the Hütteldorfer have been showing attractive performances for a long time. If captain Dibon and winger Schobesberger soon return two long-term injured key players, the situation can get even better.
The current deficit on title favorite Salzburg is only two points. Everyone knows that the championship title would be a bit presumptuous as a season goal, but the bulls should be annoyed as much as possible. With the smooth 3-0 success against fellow favorites LASK, the Rapidler have already delivered a real test.
The strikingly combat-oriented style of play that coach Kühbauer has instilled in his team in recent years is now bearing fruit, especially in defensive work. Only three league goals surpass even champions Salzburg.
In the game Wolfsberg vs. Rapid Wien is a prognosis on the guests with certainty justified in view of the previous season.
