Rapid look to extend winning streak
Manager and form
Johannes Hoff Thorup's SK Rapid Wien enter Sunday's home game against SC Rheindorf Altach as 1.8 favorites after three wins and two ties in their last five matches and a three-game winning streak. Thorup took over the reigns at Rapid on 1 January 2026, and his team have looked very well drilled indeed in the 3-4-2-1/3-5-2 set-up which he prefers.
Tactics and attacking
His side will try to control the tempo of the game, while the flanks will be a battleground as the hosts attempt to stretch the play and overload the wide areas with their full-backs. Thorup's men also like to press in structured bursts and will look to win the ball back in dangerous areas.
Altach can be a dangerous side
Ognjen Zaric has been in charge of Altach since 9 January 2026 and his men have quickly settled into a more disciplined, compact style of play that sets them up to strike fast and vertical on the break, and they can really hurt teams if they win the ball in dangerous zones.
- Rapid's recent 3-2 win over Hamburger SV and 3-1 win over FC Santa Coloma also show that they are finding goals right now.
- Altach's form is also solid with three wins and just two defeats in their last five, although they've also recorded three successive victories ahead of this fixture, so both teams should be full of confidence.
- Rapid have won four, drawn two and lost just one at home in all-competitions, so this won't be an easy trip for Altach.
Bettors should go for a Rapid win
Rapid are clearly the likelier winner in this fixture, and the odds on the head-to-head record makes sense given that Altach have failed to win at Rapid in two attempts. However, given the visitor's strong away form – three wins, one draw and one defeat in five in all competitions – Rapid don't look a lock here.
These clubs have played out a 1-1 draw at CASHPOINT Arena last season, and have not won any of the five previous matchups (2 draws, 3 losses), so these sides may end up cancelling each other out at some point.
Unders are the way to go
Under 2.5 goals is shaded at 1.8 for this clash and both teams to score is a coin toss, so the numbers are certainly there for the game to be tight and tactical rather than a goalfest.
Rapid score an average of 2.29 goals per home game and concede 1.14 in home matches across all competitions, while Altach score 2.00 per away game and have slotted 10 away goals across all current competitions, so there are enough goals in both sides to suggest they can both get on the scoresheet.
Our fancy bet for Sunday's game is to take Rapid to just edge a close win with under 2.5 goals, as that bet seems the sharpest angle available.
