SK Rapid vs Austria Vienna tips and predictions

Not straightforward for SK Rapid

There's not much between SK Rapid and Austria Vienna in the Bundesliga. The hosts are in second place with 11 points, compared to their opponents who are in sixth place on 8 points.

The short price for SK Rapid makes them unbackable. Austria Vienna don't look likely to get the win but they can make a fist of this.

This clash has proved tricky to assess with confidence but given the hosts' recent defensive record at home, the draw is the recommendation. Not giving much away on their own paddock, SK Rapid have conceded at an average of just 0.8 goals per game over their last 5 matches.

In previous matches between these sides 10 of the last 18 have been draws.

The sportsbooks are expecting goals at both ends of the park despite the favouritism for SK Rapid. It's not a strong view but the odds-against for the BTTS No looks a bit more tempting for this encounter.

SK Rapid have drawn 7 of their last 20 matches on their own soil. They drew 1-1 with Wolfsberger AC last week. Austria Vienna have drawn 2 of their last 3 away matches. They shared the spoils with Altach earlier this month. The feeling is it will be a low-scoring affair but the pick has to be with draw and the stalemate sounds like more than a fair shout.
