On Tuesday the 17th round of the Austrian football Bundesliga is opened with the
287th derby between Austria Wien and Rapid Wien. On account of the last league results Rapid goes as favorite into the away match against the rival Austria Wien.
Austria Wien has lost the last three matches in the league and, besides, has collected 11 goals against. So many like in the 13 rounds before together. In the league table the team of Karl Daxbacher has fallen back on the fourth rank. The last victory succeeded on the 18th of October against LASK Linz (5:0). Manager Daxbacher must renounce Matthias Hattenberger, Sun Xiang (both injured) and Mamadou Diabang (not in squad/in the team of Austria Amateure).
Rapid Wien is undefeated since four matches (3 wins, 1 draw). On last Saturday the team of Peter Pacult celebrated a 5:1-home victory against SCR Altach. Three goals scored Nikica Jelavic, hence, the Croatian forward will be in the start formation against Austria Wien. Manager Pacult must renounce Helge Payer, Georg Koch, Rene Gartler, Markus Katzer and Christian Thonhofer (all injured). The last derby has won Rapid Wien in own stadium with 3:0.
