Admiral Bundesliga: Two sides in good shape get together for this fixture. Rapid Vienna might have a slight edge with their 4th position in the table?

Insights:
  • Austria Wien have the most points from losing position (13) in Admiral Bundesliga
  • Rapid Vienna haven’t played a single 0-0 game.

These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
