SC Wiener Neustadt starts the second half of the season as eight in the table. Normally they should not be involved in the relegation battle. Wiener Neustadt have a 12-point advantage to SV Kapfenberg. Stöger's side have won only 2 of their 9 home matches in this season (2-5-2), their two home defeats were against Rapid (0:2) and Mattersburg (1:2). The only new player in the squad is Christoph Saurer who plays finally at Rapid Wien.
SK Rapid Wien starts the spring season as league leader, equal on points with second-placed SV Ried and two points ahead title favourite Red Bull Salzburg. Hence, they have a realistic chance on the 33th championship title in history. Rapid Wien is still nine league matches undefeated (4 wins, 5 draws) and together with SV Ried the strongest away team of the tipp3-Bundesliga (3-4-2). Manager Peter Schöttel have renounced on new players, only Lukas Grozurek and Dominik Wydra from Rapid's amateur team are new in the squad.

Hence, the pitch would be hard and frozen, because they have no undersoil heating in the Wr. Neustadt stadium. Certainly a plus for Stöger's side, because they have already training-sessions on this pitch.

The statistics speaks for Rapid Wien. Schöttel's side is still 9 league matches undefeated (4-5-0). The conditions with the frozen pitch speaks for Wiener Neustadt. I expect a hard-fought match and at the end Rapid will win this fixture.
