Rapid Wien - Ried predictions

Rapid Wien are easily the favourites in the match this Saturday, but we wouldn’t call a Home Win bet at the odds of 1.95 safe, exactly. They are more likely to win than not, but Ried may have a few tricks up their sleeve yet.

Ried will have little to hope for in this match. 3.78 betting odds on them winning paint a pretty clear picture and from this standpoint there is little doubt in regard to the outcome of this clash.

The home side is eager to bounce back from the latest Tipico Bundesliga disappointment. Rapid Wien suffered a disappointing LASK Linz away defeat last time out and will be keen to bounce back asap. This match exposed all of their weaknesses right from the start and they need to avoid the same thing happening on Saturday.

The previous round ended with a solid 1:0 victory for Ried. Their opponents Wolfsberger AC were favoured at odds of 2.79 with top bookies, but the first half ended in a draw. Ried managed to gain the upper hand in the second half and snagged a home win.

With 6 concessions over the last 3 matches, Rapid Wien will definitely have to make some improvements in their defensive line.

Ried fans have a lot of cause for concern – with 7 concessions in their latest 3 away games, their track record seems to indicate a tendency to underperform in away games.

These two teams already clashed this season, and Rapid Wien walked away with a solid away win. It was fairly narrow, though, giving Ried supporters some hope for this game despite the unfavourable matchup.

With zero injuries reported across the board, this is shaping up to be an exciting outing indeed. Both teams will have their complete squads at their disposal, so we can fully expect them to bring their A-game.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 1.91.
