Matchday 11 of the
tipp3-Bundesliga will be completed on Sunday with the top game between
SK Sturm Graz and
SK Rapid Vienna. Sturm Graz faces at the moment rank 4 and is only 1 point behind the third placed Rapid Vienna. Both teams have one game in hand.
Sturm Graz coach Franco Foda can be absolutely contented with the season till now. Sturm is at the moment table fourth and won 5 of their 9 league games. The only both defeats collected Sturm Graz against the direct rivals Austria Vienna (0-1) and Red Bull Salzburg (2-4). In the last both home games the Foda team reached only two draws, 3-3 versus LASK Linz and 0-0 in the derby against Kapfenberg. In the UEFA Europa League they played 1-1 in Istanbul against Galatasaray.
SK Rapid Vienna has lost in the running championship only one game. Immediately the opening fixture against Mattersburg, where Rapid lost 1-2 and two players per red card. Since then Rapid Vienna has lost no league game - 5 wins, 3 draws. Last round Pacult´s side celebrated a 4-0 away win over Magna Wr. Neustadt. Similarly successfully is their statistic in the UEFA Europa League. First the Green-Whites eliminated in the play-offs the English top club Aston Villa, then Rapid beat HSV 3-0 in the group stage opener and drew in Glasgow against Celtic (1-1). So they are after 2 matchdays leader in Group C of the UEFA Europa League.
