Rapid Wien
- Rapid’s run of three straight defeats in all competitions has been caused by a 1-3 home loss to FK Austria Wien followed by a 1-4 thrashing away to Lech Poznan in Europe.
- Rapid are structured in build-up play, control the tempo and use the width of the field with good positional rotation and pressing.
- They have scored six goals in four Bundesliga home matches, so their potency up front can’t be questioned, which is an important factor in the SK Rapid Wien vs LASK Linz prediction.
