Next up is a match against Wolfsberg, who also suffered a heavy defeat in the last round and have now gone four games without a win in the Austrian league. Rapid are favourites for this match, but may find it difficult psychologically. The game will show how the team have responded to that painful loss.

Head-to-head statistics Wolfsberger - Rapid Wien
Wolfsberger Team Overview
Wolfsberg are sitting on the edge of the Champions League zone, which keeps motivation at a moderate level even at this early stage of the season. Over their last ten matches, the team have won five, drawn two and lost three, scoring 1.7 goals per game and conceding just over one. However, their last five matches have been less consistent - just one win, two draws and two defeats. Their home record is also far from convincing: despite going unbeaten in most home matches, Wolfsberg tend to play cautiously and rarely allow opponents to score freely.
Match Results: Wolfsberger
Rapid Wien Team Overview
Rapid have made a much brighter start: seven wins from their previous ten matches, with only two defeats and one draw, confirming the visitors as one of the stronger sides in the league at this stage. Their scoring record is impressive - exactly three goals scored per game, with 1.4 conceded. In their last five matches they have won four and lost just once, which underlines their attack's good form even away from home. Their objective of challenging for first place gives them enough motivation to push for points in every match.

Total Goals Prediction
In Wolfsberg's last 8 matches, Total Goals - Under 3.5 has landed 7 times, which confirms the corresponding trend. Wolfsberg's average scoring at home this season is 1.67 goals scored and 1.33 conceded, while Rapid's away record stands at 1.5 scored and 3 conceded - figures that suggest some variability, though the strong trend in favour of the lower line prevails. The most suitable bet therefore appears to be Total Goals - Under 3.5 at odds of 1.57*.
Corners Prediction
Wolfsberg have had fewer than 4.5 corners in 6 of their last 7 Bundesliga matches, which is a consistent trend. No alternative data contradicting this pattern has been identified. The bet on Wolfsberg Team Corners - Under 4.5 at 1.63* therefore looks reasonable.
Both Teams to Score Prediction
In 12 of the last 13 home head-to-head meetings between Wolfsberg and Rapid, both teams have scored, which supports the trend. In addition, Wolfsberg have averaged 1.75 goals scored and 1 conceded per game in their last 10 home matches, while Rapid have averaged 2.8 scored and 2.2 conceded in their last 10 away matches. These figures support a bet on Both Teams to Score - Yes at odds of 1.53*.
Reliable Bet
Wolfsberg cover the +1.5 handicap at home in 6 of their last 7 head-to-head meetings against Rapid, which reflects a consistent trend. This handicap covers a one-goal defeat and looks a reliable selection at odds of 1.38*.
Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm's calculations, the three most likely correct scores are 1-2 (8.73%), 1-1 (8.46%) and 2-2 (7.14%). All three outcomes have fairly similar probabilities, with 1-2 holding a marginal edge in frequency. This reflects expectations of a competitive, high-scoring match.
*Odds are indicative and may vary across different bookmakers.*
⭐ Editor's Prediction
Rapid have been producing outstanding attacking numbers throughout the season: the trend shows them scoring at least two goals in almost all of their recent matches, and their overall form confirms the strength of their attack even against organised defensive setups. Against that backdrop, a bet on the visitors' team total over 1.5 looks well-founded - they convert their chances consistently regardless of venue or opponent, and Wolfsberg concede chances at home despite their relatively compact defensive shape. The main prediction is Rapid Team Total - Over 1.5.
