Rapid Vienna Backed to Get the Job Done Against Altach

Rapid Vienna finished fifth in the Austrian Bundesliga regular season last term to qualify for the championship round, where they also ended up fifth. This summer, they signed domestic midfielder Nikolas Baris and brought in forward Tony Adamson on a free transfer. Last season's top scorer Ercan Kara also remains with the club.

Altach finished eighth in last season's Austrian Bundesliga regular season. During the summer window, they added several free agents, including forward Srdjan Hrstic and defender Benjamin Boller. Last season's leading scorer Patrick Kirl is still in the squad as well.

Rapid Vienna have no reported injuries or suspensions for this match. Altach also have no reported injuries or suspensions.

Rapid Vienna showed decent scoring form in pre-season friendlies and have also managed to find the net in European qualifying, suggesting their attack is reliable and their form is building. Altach had a respectable pre-season, but only edged their opponents narrowly in their last cup game. Facing a strong side away from home here, they do not look like an attractive pick.

In the last six meetings between the sides, Rapid Vienna have won four and drawn two. Their most recent meeting ended 1-1, and that match produced six corners.
