The upcoming 16th round of the Austrian
tipp3-Bundesliga brings on Sunday the 291st Viennese derby between
SK Rapid Vienna and
FK Austria Vienna, definitely the top game of the upcoming matchday. The both rivals are second and third of the table and can overtake the lead if Red Bull Salzburg lost their away game against Kapfenberg.
Even in the first match after the international break it will come to the Viennese derby between SK Rapid and FK Austria, the Green-Whites are due to the home advantage in the favourite role. But a derby has own laws. Rapid Vienna is at the moment third of the league table and on minus points equal with leader Red Bull Salzburg. The last Bundesliga round brought a 3-3 at LASK Linz. At home the Pacult men are very strong. Rapid Vienna has won 5 of their 6 home games merely against Red Bull Salzburg they played 2-2. Rapid has won the last 3 Viennese derbies in the Hanappi Stadium, so they are also this time in the favourite role. For coach Peter Pacult the derby is the most important match.
FK Austria Vienna is in the league table ahead Rapid but the Green-Whites have one game in hand. In the last game before the international break Austria beat Sturm Graz at home 1-0. The winning goal scored defender Jacek Bąk. The away statistic is negative. Austria Vienna has won 3 of their 7 away games (3 wins, 4 defeats). The last two away matches got lost, 0:1 vs Kapfenberg and 3:4 vs SC Magna Wr. Neustadt. The last Austria victory in the Hanappi Stadium dates back for a while. On 2 May, 2004 they celebrated a 2:1 win through two goals from Sigurd Rushfeldt.
