Important battle in the lower part of the Erste Liga, with both Rapid Wien II and Austria Wien II experiencing more tension than joy. This game is a classic "six-pointer" with the team playing at home positioned 12th and the visitors in 13th position.

Insights:
  • Rapid Wien II have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored at home.
  • Austria Wien II have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

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.

This stadium uses the playing surface grass, unlike Austria Wien II's home stadium. The last 39 games by the away side on grass have generated 11 wins, 12 draws and 16 losses.

This is a battle between neighbours, usually meaning extra nervousness and significance.

Rapid Wien II form and stats

With 1 Erste Liga win, 2 draws and 3 defeats from their home games, Rapid Wien II are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Rapid faced defeat in their previous match, away at Lafnitz (2-4). A goal frenzy last time out for Rapid, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Lafnitz. Fun stuff to watch!

Before that, Rapid drew at home versus Dornbirn.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Rapid have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won one time, drawn two and lost two.

Rapid aren't scoring a lot here at Allianz Stadion in the league, with only 4 goals from 6 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 10 goals have been conceded.

Austria Wien II form and stats

Austria Wien II have only collected 5 points from their away games in the Erste Liga, after 1-2-3 (6 played). With the Austria Wien II losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

Home advantage was not enough for Austria in their previous game, as they lost their Erste Liga-match, hosting Kapfenberger SV, 1-3.

Prior to that match, the Austria manager H. Suchard faced defeat when travelling to Amstetten and losing 0-2.

Austria are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is five wins, one draw and one defeat. From a total of seven matches.

Austria Wien II have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 6 league away games 6 goals have been scored. Austria have conceded 11 goals in these games.
