WSG Hertha Wels
- WSG Hertha Wels have yet to win in the 2. Liga this season (D1, L4) and sit deep in the relegation zone with only four points, -10 goal difference.
- Christian Heinle took over as manager in May 2025 and has had to stabilize a newly-promoted squad and fix a porous defense.
SK Rapid Wien II
- SK Rapid Wien II have been on an upward trajectory over the past few weeks, winning their last two games 1-0 to move into 12th place.
- The WSG Hertha Wels vs SK Rapid Wien II prediction is influenced by the fact that, after nine rounds, Rapid have 9 points and sit 12th with a -6 goal difference, which is not good enough for a team with promotion aims, but Jürgen Kerber’s squad have shown enough to indicate they can improve.
- Kerber is a Rapid academy man who is trying to install a high-pressing, possession-based game that gets the best out of the squad in terms of development and results.
Key Players
- Hertha
- Paul Gobara has been trying to organise a defense that has leaked goals throughout the season.
- Matej Čechal, who signed for Hertha in the summer, is a key player for the hosts, as he will face a barrage of crosses and shots from a Rapid side who are always looking for the big chance.
- Roman Steinmann and Albin Gashi have to get chances to finish for Hertha and whether they can do that will go a long way to deciding if Hertha can finally get a win here.
- Rapid
- Ensar Music and Moulaye Haidara have both scored important goals in recent weeks, but a couple of 1-0 wins mean that Rapid have been defending solidly and controlling the tempo.
- Ousmane Thiero and Yasin Mankan are a midfield duo that drive the Rapid press and link the play when they get the ball.
