The table after the first match day is of course not meaningful, but it is not often seen that Rapid Vienna adorns the bottom of the table. The Kühbauer-Elf lost on the first day of the match with a two-goal difference, while the LASK got off to a positive start in the "Ländle” against the SCR Altach cashpoint. In the top game of the second round, the home side are the clear favorites, because in the game LASK vs. Rapid Vienna the odds for the tip on the home win are in the range 2.10-2.15.

LASK - statistics & current form
During the break of the season it was speculated in some places that Dominik Thalhammer would have to vacate his chair as a LASK trainer, but it didn’t happen and the former trainer of the women's national team was now also given the task of sports director. So the 50-year-old has a double function and he has to deliver accordingly.

Great upheaval
LASK was given a new face this season. The black and whites have to cope with a change and a look at the current inflows and outflows reveals a brisk coming and going. LASK suffered the most serious exit this week when captain Gernot Trauner dared to jump abroad and from now on works for Feyenoord Rotterdam.
With loan player Dario Maresic, however, a high-quality replacement was committed. In general, the quality in the squad is still good and LASK will again fight for the top positions. Thalhammer sees the current upheaval as a great opportunity.

Goals are guaranteed at home
At the start of the new season, LASK presented itself in very good shape and after the clear cup success (6: 0 against third division Marchfeld) celebrated a win without a goal against Altach in the Bundesliga opener against Altach (1: 0).

A game with only one goal is an absolute rarity for the Thalhammer-Elf (in 2020/21 there were 28 of 32 league games with an over 1.5). Many goals are to be expected, especially in the home games. In the previous year, an average of 3.25 goals were scored (at least three goals were scored in eleven of 16 games). Accordingly, the value tip for the top game LASK against Rapid Vienna is the prediction of over 2.5.

Rapid Vienna - statistics & current form
The successful qualification for the Champions League group stage would actually have been a big surprise, but the elimination against the Czech top club Sparta Prague means that the Kühbauer-Elf must now tremble for participation in the Europa League group stage.

Poor performance in Prague
After the 2-1 home win thanks to Christoph Knasmüllner in the first leg, Rapid would have been enough to draw. In the end, however, the Kühbauer-Elf had to admit defeat with 0: 2 - a defeat that has to be classified in the category "well deserved”. Over the entire duration of the game Rapid was never dangerous and created no goal threat.
Free soccer picks
All in all a disappointing performance, which was also due to personnel problems. With Knasmüllner and Hofmann (both not quite fit) and Ljubicic (ill), three regular players had to be replaced at short notice. It became clear that the frame width is not sufficient. With the current Mammut program, this is definitely problematic. Next week, the next difficult international task awaits Green-White with Anathorsis Famagusta in the Europa League.

Kühbauer describes his players as "arrogant"
With the poor performance, the team was unable to make amends for the embarrassing 2-0 home defeat at the Bundesliga opener against TSV Hartberg. In the first home game after the fans returned, Rapid completely missed many basic virtues. Didi Kühbauer even attested his team a little arrogance at times after the game and criticized in particular the willingness of his team to run.

After the two weak appearances, a reaction must follow, otherwise the green-whites will find themselves in crisis early in the season. Although LASK was recently the favorite opponent of the green-whites, a tip on the guests on Saturday afternoon in the top game LASK against Rapid Vienna is too risky.

Expected formation of Rapid Wien:
Strebinger - Ullmann, Wimmer, Hofmann, Stojkovic - Petrovic, Schuster - Grüll, Knasmüllner, Fountas - Kara

Direct comparison / H2H
Rapid Vienna was an absolute fear opponent for LASK last season, because the black and whites from the steel city could only celebrate a point win against the green and whites at home in the championship group (1: 1). In the three remaining games of the season, the Kühbauer-Elf kept the upper hand.
The direct comparison thus speaks a clear language in favor of the guests, who have been unbeaten in seven Bundesliga games against LASK (six wins, one draw).

Betting base forecast & Austria LASK - Rapid Wien Austria tip
In view of the direct comparison, the forecast for the guests at the game LASK against Rapid Vienna seems very lucrative. However, the momentum speaks a completely different language, because the home side are full of self-confidence after two good performances, while at Rapid Vienna after two defeats you can already hear unrest.

In terms of quality, there are two teams facing each other, which are basically on a similar level. Based on the latest findings, the lower odds on the home win at LASK against Rapid Vienna are absolutely justified. In addition, the record champions from Vienna have some problems in the center (Grahovac and Ljubicic are missing, Knasmüllner should be fit again)
