Rapid Wien, Recent FormThe Rapid Wien players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Red Bull Salzburg recently, that ended in a 2-0 defeat. They came away from that fixture with 46% of the possession and clocked up 11 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Red Bull Salzburg managed 17 attempts on goal, with 4 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 11 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 5 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 1 clean sheet in those games.
Rapid Wien will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games, but having managed just 2 wins leaves them plenty of room for improvement.
Guido Burgstaller will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Rapid Wien.
Wolfsberger AC, Recent FormWolfsberger AC boss Manfred Schmid will need to instil positive feelings within his team after they endured a 3-0 home mauling from TSV Hartberg. They achieved 51% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against TSV Hartberg's tally of 18 efforts at goal, 7 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Schmid will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 6 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 9 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
There will be mixed feelings from Wolfsberger, having been undefeated in their last 6 away league games, but drawn the last 2 of these games.
On an individual basis, Augustine Boakye will be looking to cause Rapid Wien some problems having scored 2 goals in Wolfsberger AC's last 6 away games in the league.
It was one to forget for Wolfsberger AC last time they met Rapid Wien in the league, falling to a 1-2 defeat.
Goals should be on the cards for Rapid Wien in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Wolfsberger in their last 15 meetings together.
Wolfsberger AC 1 - 3 Rapid WienWith no real injury worries, Rapid Wien manager Zoran Barišić will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
With only Michael Novak (Muscle) and Samson Tijani (Leg) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Manfred Schmid will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
