Second last matchday in the tipp3-Bundesliga and all five fixtures are on Sunday afternoon. In one of these games
SK Rapid Vienna welcomes
SK Sturm Graz at the Hanappi Stadion.
Austrian record champions SK Rapid Vienna will finish this season without winning a title. In the ÖFB Cup they retired in the quarterfinal on Austria Kärnten and in the tipp3-Bundesliga Rapid´s chance on the championship is just theoretical. Two rounds before season end they are six points behind Red Bull Salzburg and two points behind Austria Vienna. But at least rank 2 seems possible for Pacult´s side. Rapid Vienna have won 14 of their 17 home games in this Bundesliga season (14 wins, 2 draws, 1 defeat) and so they are the best home team of the league. Rapid manager Peter Pacult will have to pass on Christian Thonhofer (booked, 5th yellow card) and Markus Katzer (injured).
SK Sturm Graz will finish this season on table rank 4. Currently they are nine points behind Rapid and 15 points ahead SC Magna Wr. Neustadt. So the last two rounds in the tipp3-Bundesliga are not really important. Their full concentration is on the ÖFB Cup final on 16 May, 2010 when Sturm Graz faces on SC Magna Wr. Neustadt. Back to the league where Sturm celebrated last round a 1:0 home win over SC Wr. Neustadt through a goal from Roman Kienast. Sturm Graz have won 8 of their 17 away matches in this season (8 wins, 4 draws, 5 defeats) and therewith they are the second best away team of the league. Coach Franco Foda will have to pass on Andreas Hölzl and Haris Bukva (both injured).
