Wolfsberger AC - Rapid Wien predictions

The visiting team is cognizant of the task before them. A victory over Wolfsberger AC on their home field would be a noteworthy accomplishment, and it is never an easy feat.

Though it won’t be the easiest match of their careers, Rapid Wien should be able to pull ahead for a victory. Most online bookmakers are pricing an away win at 2.08, which gives us confidence it’s the most likely outcome.

It’s fair to say even the most avid Wolfsberger AC supporters were surprised to see their team land a comprehensive LASK Linz victory in the last round of the Tipico Bundesliga. Having taken an early lead, Wolfsberger AC smelled blood and went for the jugular resulting in a big-margin, morale-boosting triumph.

Rapid Wien went into their previous match against Salzburg as clear underdogs despite the home-field advantage. As such, the tie score during half-time was a bit of a surprise – let alone the narrow 3:2 victory Rapid Wien bagged in the end.

Wolfsberger AC have a notably poor defensive record when it comes to playing as visitors. We’re mostly referring to the 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 away games. They are playing as hosts this time around, but you should be aware before you put down any money.

The visitors will likely miss the support of having a home-field advantage. Their latest 3 home games were marked by more than 5 goals in total and it remains to be seen what they can do to extend the positive trend away from home as well.

Looking back at the history of this matchup, we can see an Rapid Wien victory from the previous season. Based on the considerable goal lead they had over Wolfsberger AC at the final whistle, the 2.08 odds for an away win make a lot of sense.

Both teams will have a complete lineup for an exciting showdown, thanks to the absence of injuries or suspensions.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 1.65, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
