Matchday 14 of the
tipp3-Bundesliga brings the fixture between
SK Rapid Vienna and
SV Ried, probably the most interesting game this round. Both teams are in good form, the
Green-Whites won their last two league games and leading the table on minus points. Ried is since 6 games unbeaten.
SK Rapid Vienna presented at the away game against Austria Kärnten a very strong finish. Pacult´s side were 0-1 back till the 82nd minute, but they battled back and celebrated at the end a 3-1 win through late goals from Christopher Drazan (82., 89.) and Rene Gartler (85.). Their performance up to the 1-1 was moderate, only the finish in the "Rapid-Viertelstunde" was perfect. Now against Ried the third win in a row should succeed. Rapid is this season unbeaten at the Hanappi Stadium. Including the Europa League games Rapid has won 7 of their 8 home games, the league game versus RB Salzburg ended 2-2.
SV Ried is at the moment on table rank 5 and meanwhile since 6 games without a defeat (3 wins, 3 draws). Their only weakness are the away games. Ried has won only 1 of their 6 away fixtures (1 win, 4 draws, 2 defeat). The last Bundesliga round brought a 3-0 home win over SC Magna, where Atdhe Nuhiu scored two goals. The 20-years-old forward, who transferred as subsitution for Hamdi Salihi to Ried, scored 5 season goals in the Ried jersey so far.
Rapid has won only 1 of the last 5 direct games against Ried, while the Gludovatz men won 2 matches. The first game in the 2009/10 season ended with a 1-1 draw.
