The Wolfsberger AC manager F. Feldhofer attacks this game with the team placed 10th so far. In the visitors dressing room Rapid Wien and their manager D. Kühbauer are in 2nd place before this match.
It's no vacation for neither Wolfsberger nor Rapid Wien 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.
Wolfsberger AC form and stats
Wolfsberger AC are yet to win a home game, having collected 0 points from their first two Tipico Bundesliga games here at Lavanttal Arena. Wolfsberger are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Lavanttal Arena, having lost their two previous games here.
The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus CSKA Moskva in the Europa League last time out and are looking for a win here. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Ried (after extra-time, 4-3 on penalties) that ended 2-2.
This is expected to be a close game, with Wolfsberger AC perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Wolfsberger AC as a small favourite), we find four games. Wolfsberger AC has won zero of these, drawn one and lost three.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Wolfsberger AC as they are travelling to their away game against Feyenoord in the Europa League. That match is four days after this one.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Wolfsberger AC at home in the league. 3 on target and 7 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Rapid Wien form and stats
Rapid Wien are still undefeated on their travels in the Tipico Bundesliga. They have only played two games though, winning one and drawing the other.
Rapid failed to get anything from their last game, a Europa League home match vs Arsenal that ended with defeat 1-2. Before that one, a nice away victory 5-1 at Wiener Neustadt.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Rapid Wien playing away and similar expectations, we found three relevant matches. Results were one Rapid Wien win, one draw and one defeat.
Rapid Wien has another fixture away, a Europa League game, against Molde in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
It's early days yet, but Rapid Wien has scored 3 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: two wins for Wolfsberger, five draws and three wins for Rapid Wien. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.Top Goalscorers
