Rapid Wien Wolfsberger AC betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match will be a few goals. Admittedly, a relatively even match is expected, but both teams are used to playing in an open manner, with few defensive concerns. It's worth noting that 71% of Wolfsberger AC's away games have ended with more than two goals at the end of the 90 minutes. A dynamic game is therefore anticipated, with both teams creating several goalscoring opportunities.

Analysis Rapid

The home team is currently in the 3rd position of the league, with 28 points won, after 7 wins, 7 draws and 2 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Blau‑Weiß Linz, by (0‑1). In the last match, they tied in an away match against Salzburg, by (2‑2). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 6 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with 19 goals scored and 18 conceded; against 10 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 25 goals scored and 12 conceded. In their last match, for the Club Friendlies, they got a home win against Blau‑Weiß Linz by (1‑0). In the last 8 home league matches Rapid has a record of 6 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, so they have won 19 points out of 24 possible. The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 1‑0 (3 out of 8 matches). They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. 5 of their last 8 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals, so there is a tendency for few goals in their home matches. They have conceded the first goal in 7 of their 16 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 1.

SK Rapid go into this match on the back of a 1-0 friendly win over BW Linz. The home side usually play in a 4-4-2 tactical system, favoring quick transitions, mainly through the wings. The two men responsible for creating panic in the opposition's defense are Dion Beljo and Ercan Kara. When they go on the offensive, they usually do so through the right flank, taking advantage of the depth offered by Bendegúz Bolla. Guido Burgstaller, Laurenz Orgler and Romeo Amane are all out with fitness problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Niklas Hedl, Jakob Maximilian Schöller, Serge Raux Yao, Jonas Antonius Auer, Bendegúz Bolla, Matthias Seidl, Lukas Grgić, Louis Schaub, Mamadou Sangare, Drena Dijon, Isak Jansson.
Coach: R. Klauß.

Analysis WAC

The away team is currently in the 4th position of the league, with 26 points won, after 8 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Grazer AK, by (3‑4). In the last match, they won in a home match against LASK Linz, by (2‑1). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 10 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses in away matches, with 39 goals scored and 13 conceded; against 6 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 31 goals scored and 18 conceded. In their last match, for the Cup, they got a home win against Schwarz‑Weiß Bregenz by (3‑1). In the last 7 away league matches WAC has a record of 4 wins and 3 losses, so they have won 12 points out of 21 possible. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑1 (3 out of 7 matches). Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 16 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have only turned the score around in 2. In the last 17 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 6 of their 17 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Wolfsberger AC come into this game on the back of a 3-1 win over Bregenz in the Austrian Cup. The away side are likely to play a 4-3-3 tactical system, with the aim of taking advantage of counter-attacks. Angelo Gattermayer, Thierno Ballo and Dejan Zukic are likely to be the three players playing the most attacking roles. In any case, it's expected that Wolfsberger AC will adopt a slightly more offensive strategy, with the aim of trying to take advantage of the space in SK Rapid's defense. Out for this game are Jonathan Scherzer and Erik Kojzek due to physical problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Nikolas Polster, Adis Jasic, Maximilian Ullmann, Nicolas Wimmer, Chibuike Nwaiwu, Dominik Baumgartner, Dejan Zukić, Simon Piesinger, Ervin Omic, Angelo Gattermayer, Thierno Ballo.
Coach: R. Dutt.
