Rapid Viena – Austria Viena Prediction and Preview

Preview

Rapid Viena – Austria Viena : 23rd April 2017

Poor season

Rapid Vienna comes after a 3-0 victory over Altach. It was the first success for the home team in 2017, after 8 stages without victory. This was the first game in which the band was led by interim officials Goran Djuricin and Martin Bernhard, the former coach being dismissed after defeating in the previous round, 0-3 at Ried.
It is worth mentioning that the white-greenies are on the 6th place at 16 points from the top 3 and have no chance at the top 3. Thus, the only chance for the hosts to reach the European Cups is the Austrian Cup. It is very important that Rapid will play in the semifinals of this competition with LASK Linz on April 26th. A possible qualification could bring her to the Europa League because the virtual Salzburg champion plays in the other semifinals.

Good results “out”

On the other hand, Austria Vienna has the same coach since the start of the 2015 season, former Bayern Munich football player Thorsten Fink. With him on the bench, the Visiting Band is on 3 with a total of 50 points, but at 15 lengths from the leader of Salzburg, the group that dominates Austrian football.
It is worth noting that Austria Vienna is doing well in “out” parties. In the last 4 games he was defeated only on the Salzburg court. In the other 3, they are charged without receiving a goal and score at least 3 goals

Direct Matches:

Between these two teams there were 320 direct meetings, 116 being won by Austria Vienna, 132 by his rival, and 772 ended in a tie.
Noteworthy is that the last game was the only draw in the last 10 games.

Rapid Vienna has no longer what the fight for in the domestic competition, but fans certainly want a victory. The problem is that just over 3 days will have an extremely important match, a match that can ensure its presence in the next season of the Europa League or the total miss of the season. Even if the rivalry is high, basically for a European participation, each team competes for a season. So anything can happen in a derby, but Austria Vienna has great chances not to lose that confrontation.
