Rapid Wien II form and stats

Three Erste Liga home games done for Rapid Wien II, who are not happy collecting 1 point from these matches. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Rapid with their four defeats in a row. Not since the SV Horn II game, 42 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

Rapid are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 2-6 away versus Liefering. Rapid were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

Before that game, the home loss against Austria Lustenau with the scoreline 1-2.

The lack of attacking qualities in Rapid means that they have only scored 1 goal in 3 league home games, less than half a goal per match. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Rapid Wien II defense is not exactly impregnable. 5 goals conceded from 3 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
