The opener fixture of the
29th round in Austrians tipp3-Bundesliga brings on Friday the game between
SV Josko Ried and
SK Rapid Vienna. Ried have not won their last four league games, on the other side Rapid is since six rounds unbeaten. But the Viennese have not won the last three meetings in Ried (1 draw, 2 defeats).
SV Josko Ried plays a very moderate spring season so far. Ried have won just 1 of their 9 league games (1-2-6) and so they are fallen back on table rank 7. The last four rounds brought three defeats - in each case without scoring a goal - and last weekend a 2:2 home draw in the derby against LASK Linz. Ried have won six of their 14 home games in this season (6-3-5), against Rapid Vienna they are unbeaten since three home matches (2 wins, 1 draw). Manager Paul Gludovatz will have to pass on Oliver Glasner (injured) and Ewald Brenner (susp, 5th yellow card).
After their bad start in the spring season (2 draws, 2 defeats) SK Rapid Vienna becomes stronger and stronger in the last weeks. The Pacult men are since six league games unbeaten (4-2-0) and therewith Red Bull Salzburg´s hardest rival in the title match. However, at the moment they are six points behind RB Salzburg and so Rapid have to win probably all their outstanding matches. The last two rounds brought two wins against table last SK Austria Kärnten (4:2, 1:0) but Rapids achievement was just moderate. SK Rapid Vienna have won four of their 14 away games in this season (4-7-3). Not in the squad are Helge Payer, Markus Katzer, Veli Kavlak (all injured) and Markus Heikkinen (susp., red card).
