On Sunday the 25^th of July Rapid Wien hosts SC Magna Wiener Neustadt in the second round of the tipp3 Bundesliga. The game is set in the Gerhard-Hanappi-Stadium of Vienna, Referee will be Oliver Drachta.

After the catastrophic start in the tipp3 Bundesliga against Wacker Innsbruck, Rapid Wien had to compare a lot. For the second leg in the Europe-League against FK Suduva they tried to make a good game at their home ground to reconcile with their fans. But for a long time it didn't look very good for Rapid Vienna. But after the 2:1 for FK Suduva they woke up und could turn the game in a 4:2 victory. Now the face SC Magna Wiener Neustadt in front of their own fans and for sure Rapid Wien will try to have a result like they had against FK Suduva.

The first game in the season was surely one of the craziest SC Magna Wiener Neustadt ever had. They started with a 5:0 victory against Lask Linz, there were 4 penalties in this game 2 red cards for Las Linz players and 5 goals. And all of this happened in the first half. Now they face Rapid Wien in Vienna, it will be interesting to see if the will be as offensive as they were against Las Linz.
