SK Rapid Vienna welcomes
Red Bull Salzburg in the top match of the 7th round in Austrian tipp3-Bundesliga. The
Green-Whites are in the table 5 points behind Salzburg, but Rapid Vienna have one game in hand.
Rapid Vienna was in the Bundesliga season 2008-09 the only opponent for Red Bull Salzburg. At the end Salzburg leads the table 4 points in front of Rapid. Also this year the Green-Whites are a title candidate, in face of the transfers of Hoffer (to SSC Neapel) and Maierhofer (to Wolverhampton Wanderers). Rapid Vienna has won all regular home matches this season. They beat Austria Kärnten (5-1) and LASK Linz (4-1) in the Austrian football league as well as Vllaznia Shkoder (5-0), APOP Kinyras (2-1) and Aston Villa (1-0) in the UEFA Europa League. The central defenders Jürgen Patocka and Milan Jovanovic (both injured) are not in the squad.
Champion Red Bull Salzburg is also this season the title favourite number 1. The Red Bulls are after 6 matchdays league leader, but their performance especially in the away matches was moderate. The first away fixture in Ried got lost with 0-1, followed by a lucky 3-2 win in Mattersburg and a 1-1 draw against SC Magna. In the UEFA Champions League Salzburg failed in the play-offs against Maccabi Haifa (1-5 aggregate).

SK Rapid Vienna vs Red Bull Salzburg
Fixture: Sunday, 13.09.2009, 4:00 pm CET
Stadium: Vienna, Hanappi-Stadium

Tip: Rapid Vienna is hardly to beat at the Hanappi-Stadium. Rapid has won all five home matches this season (goal difference 17-3). Therefore I bet also against Salzburg on a home win.
my tip is 1
