Rangers - Rapid Vienna Prediction, Picks and Tips
At Rapid Wien, it is currently haywire. After a weak start to the season former coach Goran Djuricin was dismissed at the weekend. With Dietmar "Didi" Kühbauer, the Viennese have now introduced a man as a new coach, who in his active time as a player himself from 1992 to 1997 wearing the jersey of Rapid Vienna and now returns to what he calls Herzensverein, to this back to the road to success. In his first game Kühbauer is allowed to look after his new team at the venerable Ibrox Stadium in Glasgow. The Austrians are on Thursday in the context of the second matchday of the Europa League as a guest of the Rangers. Kühbauer is looking forward to his new task, but he is also on the euphoria brake. In the Glasgow Rangers vs. Rapid Wien match, the visitors are also clear underdogs in terms of betting odds, which is a tip for a winner.
With Steven Gerrard as the new coach on the sidelines, the Glasgow Rangers wanted to attack the city rivals Celtic Glasgow again this season. Indeed, the Rangers are only two points behind their eternal rivals after seven games in the Scottish Premiership. The curious thing is that Celtic Glasgow is only fifth and not first as usual. The Glasgow Rangers themselves are sixth and currently come to a record of three wins and two draws and defeats. Before the last match day, the Gers were even ahead of Celtic. But while the Bhoys were able to win their game last weekend against runner-up Aberdeen just with 1: 0, were subject to the Glasgow Rangers with the same result in promoted Livingston. It was after three wins and a draw in four competitive games again a failure for the Glasgow Rangers, who conceded the other defeat in the Premiership at Celtic Glasgow, as the Gers drew 1-0. While Rangers Rangers have been unable to win any of their last five competitive games away from home, the teddy bears, as the players are sometimes called affectionate, have been unbeaten in season at all competitions at home in Ibrox Stadium for eleven matches. Ten of these last eleven home games were won by Glasgow Rangers. Only against the NK Osijek from Croatia there was a 1-1 in the second leg of qualifying for the Europa League second leg. But in this match, the Rangers led to the 89th minute with 1: 0. In their last five competitive games on home turf, Glasgow Rangers failed to concede four times and conceded only one goal in the remainder of the game. In general, the Rangers Rangers conceded only four goals in their last eleven unbeaten home games. The Glasgow Rangers made an orderly appearance at Villarreal on matchday one of the Europa League group stage, two behind them. In the end, the Scots took a point in 2-2. In Glasgow Rangers' game against Rapid Wien, according to the odds, the hosts will be the favorites to tip a winner.
It's another story that only football can write. Saturday's Didi Kühbauer, who scored 33 goals in 148 games for Rapid Wien between 1992 and 1997, was in the away game of SKN St. Pölten at Rapid Wien as coach on the guest bench. With 2: 0 St. Pölten won in Vienna and Kühbauer strengthened after nine matchdays the surprising as excellent second place with his club. Not four days later you have to talk to St. Pölten but again from ex-club! Because since Tuesday Kühbauer is coach at Rapid Wien! The Viennese dissuade the trainer from the competitor and hope for a turnaround. For the previous season was for Rapid Vienna rather forgetful. In the Bundesliga, the third of the preseason is only eightth after nine matchdays. Of the nine league games so far, Rapid Vienna could only win two. In addition, there were three draws and already four defeats. His last three games in the Bundesliga lost Rapid Wien in series. The gap to leaders Red Bull Salzburg is already eighteen points. The championship is no longer an issue at this early stage of the season. After winning the sixteenth finals of the ÖFB Cup when Rapid Wien won on penalties in league rival Mattersburg, ex-coach Goran Djuricin once again sparked some hope. But after the bankruptcy against St. Pölten, those responsible were forced to act. The Bundesliga seems to be something of the Achilles heel of the Rapids anyway. While the Viennese recently reached the round of 16 of the national cup, there was also a victory on the first matchday of the group stage of the Europa League. At home, Rapid Wien beat Russia's Spartak Moscow 2-0. But that was just home. Away, Rapid Vienna were able to win the Cup final at Mattersburg, after the Vienna have not won any of the last five competitive games away from it and have lost four of them. In the game of Rapid Wien at the Rangers Rangers, a tip on away win brings twice as much betting odds as betting on the Scots.
