Clean Sheets in Last 5 Matches
Recent defensive records for Rapid Vienna and WSG Tirol are shown below.
Rapid have taken 15 points from six Austrian Bundesliga matches, scoring 18 goals, while WSG sit on eight points with nine scored and nine conceded.
Yet this is not simply a case of one side producing more. Both teams have been involved in open recent matches, and WSG arrive having created plenty in a 2-2 draw with Hartberg. Rapid’s task is therefore less about proving they can attack and more about maintaining control against a side capable of generating chances of their own.
Rapid Are Turning Attacks Into Goals
Rapid’s recent attacking output carries weight because it combines volume with efficiency. Across their last 10 league matches they have averaged 13.0 attempts, 4.8 shots on target and 2.2 goals. That is a considerably stronger return than WSG’s 1.1 goals from 10.2 attempts and 3.4 efforts on target.
The 3-0 win at Wolfsberger sharpened that point. Rapid had just six attempts, with four on target, but Serge-Philippe Raux-Yao, Nenad Cvetkovic and Petter Nosa Dahl all scored. Wolfsberger actually produced twice as many attempts, yet Rapid were far more clinical with the chances that reached dangerous areas.
Tonni Adamsen leads Rapid’s recent scoring with four goals, while Dahl has three and Cvetkovic is among those with two. Yusuf Demir, Bendeguz Bolla and Marco Tilio have each supplied two assists, suggesting the attacking return is not dependent on a single source.
WSG Can Create, but Their Defence Gives Plenty Back
WSG’s draw with Hartberg showed why their attacking numbers deserve respect. They had 66% possession, attempted 16 shots and put seven on target, with Lukas Hinterseer and Murat Satin scoring.
That performance was much more productive than their 10-match averages, but the defensive side of the same game was revealing. Hartberg managed only five attempts and put four on target, yet scored twice. WSG have conceded 1.6 goals per game across their last 10 league fixtures despite opponents averaging only 10.2 attempts.
That is the uncomfortable contrast. WSG’s opponents do not need extraordinary attacking volume to hurt them, while Rapid are currently scoring at a rate of 2.2 goals per game from 13 attempts. If that relationship continues, the visitors may have to be unusually efficient themselves to stay level.
History Strengthens Rapid’s Position
Rapid have won their last three home league matches and are unbeaten in 10 recent meetings with WSG, recording seven wins and three draws. Another sequence stretches even further: Rapid have not lost a league match against WSG in 13 meetings.
The most recent encounter did not follow the dominant pattern, ending 1-1. WSG had 13 attempts and six on target, while Rapid produced 14 and four. Nikolai Baden Frederiksen scored for WSG before Ercan Kara equalised.
WSG are also unbeaten in their last two away league matches, so their current travelling form is better than the broader historical picture. Even so, six consecutive league visits to Rapid without victory leaves a substantial trend to challenge.
Rapid do have absences, with Daniel Nunoo, Martin Ndzie, Jakob Schöller, Dominic Vincze and Jean Marcelin ruled out. The expected line-up still contains several of the players behind their recent attacking production, including Adamsen, Dahl and Cvetkovic.

Correct Score Market
Selection: Rapid Vienna vs WSG Wattens 2-1. Predict the exact score at the end of 90 minutes plus stoppage time. Extra time and penalties do not count unless the bookmaker states otherwise.
🎯 Pick 1: BTTS Yes @ 8/13
Rapid Vienna enter Friday’s fixture having scored 18 goals in six Austrian Bundesliga matches this season, averaging three goals per game. Their broader 10-match league sample shows a steady return of 2.2 goals from 13.0 attempts and 4.8 shots on target per match. This regular goal production, combined with conceding seven times across their six early league fixtures, creates a consistent baseline for both teams finding the net.
WSG Wattens demonstrate a similar tendency toward open matches, having recently generated 16 attempts and seven shots on target in a 2-2 draw with Hartberg. While WSG average 1.1 goals from 10.2 attempts over their last 10 league fixtures, their backline remains vulnerable, allowing 1.6 goals per game despite facing an average of only 10.2 opposition attempts. Rapid’s recent 3-0 victory over Wolfsberger highlighted how effectively the hosts turn limited on-target efforts into goals, scoring three times from four shots on target. However, WSG’s ability to maintain 66% possession and test opponents away from home suggests they possess the means to break through a Rapid defence that has conceded in early league fixtures.
The main risk to this selection rests on WSG’s broader scoring average of just 1.1 goals per game across 10 league matches, alongside Rapid’s capacity to keep clean sheets when restricting opposition opportunities. Nevertheless, with WSG leaking 1.6 goals per game and Rapid conceding just over a goal per match in early league play, both sides have sufficient profile to deliver goals at each end.
🎯 Tactical Indicators
- Rapid Vienna have scored 18 goals across six league fixtures this season (3.0 per game) while conceding seven times.
- WSG Wattens concede 1.6 goals per match across their last 10 league games despite facing only 10.2 opposition attempts per fixture.
- WSG generated 16 attempts and seven shots on target during their recent 2-2 draw against Hartberg.
Risk Factor: WSG average only 1.1 goals per game across their last 10 league matches, so failing to convert away chances would lose the bet if Rapid keep a clean sheet.
Key Tactical Mismatch
Scoring 2.2 goals per game from 13.0 attempts and 4.8 shots on target across their last 10 league matches.
Conceding 1.6 goals per game despite facing an average of only 10.2 opposition attempts.
⚔️ Pick 2: Rapid Vienna vs WSG Wattens 2-1 @ 7/1
Rapid’s home creation figures combined with WSG’s concession rate per shot align with two home goals, while WSG’s recent shot production supports a single away goal.
A 2-1 scoreline for Rapid Vienna builds on the host’s stronger league return while respecting WSG’s recent ability to score. Rapid have taken 15 points from six matches while averaging 2.2 goals per game over their last 10 league fixtures. WSG concede 1.6 goals per match across the same period despite facing only 10.2 opposition attempts, indicating that Rapid’s average creation rate of 13.0 attempts is more than adequate to generate two home goals.
Justifying the single WSG goal relies on the visitors’ recent attacking output rather than broader historical dominance. WSG generated 16 attempts and put seven on target in their recent 2-2 draw with Hartberg, demonstrating that they can test opposition goalkeepers. Rapid have conceded seven goals in six league matches this season, an average of 1.17 per game, showing that their backline is rarely immune to conceding. Furthermore, the most recent meeting between these clubs finished 1-1 with WSG registering 13 attempts and six shots on target, confirming that they can regularly threaten Rapid’s goal.
Rapid are unbeaten in their last 10 meetings with WSG, winning seven, while WSG have failed to win on their last six visits to Allianz Stadion. This historical backing aligns with a Rapid victory, yet the 1.17 goals Rapid concede per game suggests a clean sheet is unlikely. The principal risk remains the narrow nature of exact scorelines, as a single additional goal or a scoreless stretch by WSG defeats the selection.
Risk Factor: A 2-1 selection fails if either team scores an additional goal or if Rapid maintain a clean sheet.
