RB Salzburg vs Rapid Wien Previews, Form and Players to Watch

RB Salzburg have had a very mediocre year by their high standards. As the usual Austria Bundesliga champions, the Red Bulls have taken a gentle decline. They finished third in the table and are now sitting in fourth in the Championship Group, with no chance to win it. Their Champions League campaign was a failure likewise; they only won one game throughout the while tournament, meaning they ended up in 34th out of 36 teams in this new system and did not qualify for the knockout rounds. A huge reason for Salzburg’s dip is down to their inconsistent form. Out of their last seven matches, they have lost three games and only won three games. By a club of their stature, this is significantly underachieving their aims.

Rapid Wien are there about where they always seem to end up. The Green-Whites finished fifth in the Bundesliga season, as they now also sit fifth in the Championship Group – a spot which has been guaranteed for them with one game to go. Similarly to Salzburg, their form has just not been good enough this season. Prior to their recent two wins on the spin, Rapidler had lost six games out of nine in all competitions. Furthermore, the Austrian outfit bowed out of the UEFA Conference League in the quarterfinals, rejecting all potential of a European trophy. However, whilst they finish fifth in the Austrian Championship Group, they enter a position for Conference League qualification for next term.
