SK Rapid Wien vs Wolfsberger Athletik Club Best odds and tips

Wolfsberger Athletik Club are in third place in the Bundesliga Championship Group 2025 with 30 points from 28 matches, while SK Rapid Wien are fifth with 21 points from the same number of matches. So it is no surprise that the bookies favour the hosts at 2.05 with Wolfsberger AC as the 3.40 outsiders for this match-up. Wolfsberger AC have been in better form than Rapid Wien in recent weeks, winning three, drawing two and losing none of their last five Bundesliga Championship Group 2025 matches, while Rapid Wien have won one, drawn one and lost three of their last five. Wolfsberger AC have also fared well on the road, remaining unbeaten in their last three away matches (Won 1, Drawn 2), and Rapid Wien have won just one of their last three home matches (Drawn 1, Lost 1).

Wolfsberger AC are the better side right now and can upset the odds again on Sunday. New coach Dietmar Kuhbauer, appointed in July 2024, has given the club a new identity and the ability to play a more pragmatic brand of football, based around counter-attacking, quick transitions and situational pressing. This should allow them to exploit the gaps that Rapid Wien leave when they play their more possession-based, structured style of football, based around width, overlapping runs and a 4-2-3-1 system. Robert Klauss has tried to get Rapid Wien playing his brand of football since taking over as coach in November 2023, but he has struggled to get the team playing in a controlled manner with the ball. Dion Drena Beljo leads the line for Rapid Wien with one goal in six Bundesliga Championship Group 2025 matches and has not yet found his scoring form for the team. Dejan Zukic is the main threat for Wolfsberger AC with three goals in his last five Bundesliga Championship Group 2025 matches.

Rapid Wien have failed to win either of their last two home matches against Wolfsberger Athletik Club, and that could be a psychological hurdle for them to overcome on Sunday. Wolfsberger AC thrashed Rapid Wien 5-1 at home eight days ago and are in much better form and confidence than their hosts. Rapid Wien have conceded just 11 goals at home in this Bundesliga Championship Group 2025 campaign, but Wolfsberger AC can score goals on the road and have averaged 1.93 goals per game on their travels in this competition. With European qualification at stake, this could be a tactical battle, but Rapid Wien will want to control the game and Wolfsberger AC will be looking to exploit any turnovers and counter-attack at pace. This could lead to an open game and, with both teams capable of scoring, ‘Both Teams To Score’ could be a top alternative bet.
