National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Salzburg or Rapid Vienna that keep their silverware dream alive.
It's no vacation for neither Salzburg nor Rapid Vienna as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Salzburg form and stats
4-0-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Tipico Bundesliga numbers at home for Salzburg so far this season.
Salzburg's previous game was a Tipico Bundesliga match also played at home, ending 3-1 versus LASK Linz. The home side are looking to build on that result. Before that game, the home loss against Atletico Madrid with the scoreline 0-2.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Salzburg as they have a new game in only four days, a Tipico Bundesliga match thankfully also at home. Wolfsberger AC are visiting.
With more than three goals on average, the attacking play of Salzburg is on fire here. A stunning 20 from 5 league matches. On the other hand, Salzburg have conceded 6 goals.
Rapid Vienna form and stats
Last season their Austrian Cup adventure ended in the 2nd round.The story so far for the visiting team on their Tipico Bundesliga travels is 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat.
Home advantage was not enough for Rapid Vienna in their previous game, as they lost their Tipico Bundesliga-match, hosting Wattens, 0-3. A draw for Vienna before that, at their own venue hosting Molde (2-2).
Vienna has another fixture away, a Tipico Bundesliga game, against Admira in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
Today's guests are confident travelers having scored 13 goals in 5 league games away this season. The Rapid Vienna manager D. Kühbauer has some worries about the defense as 10 goals have been conceded in these travels.
