Sturm Graz in a supplement game of the Austrian
tipp3-Bundesliga. The fixture from the first round was delayed through the anniversary match from Rapid against Liverpool and will be played therefore on upcoming Wednesday. Rapid Vienna can overtake the lead if they win the supplement against Sturm Graz.
The supplement game Rapid Vienna against Sturm Graz is for both clubs a very important match. Rapid is second of the league table and can overtake the lead if they win their home game against Sturm. At the moment they are three points behind leader Red Bull Salzburg, with a win they are equal and due to the better goal difference ahead the Red Bulls. The chances on a Rapid Vienna win are good because Pacult´s side is this season still unbeaten at the Hanappi Stadium. They won 6 of their 7 Bundesliga home games, only RB Salzburg reached a 2-2 draw. The last Bundesliga round brought a 4-1 derby win against Austria Vienna.
