After the previous eight games against Austria in the Allianz Stadium, the balance is five draws and three defeats, now the first win in the new home ground should be on Sunday in the second round of the Bundesliga championship round.
Both teams are doing well at the moment. Rapid recently celebrated three wins in a row, Austria has not lost points for five games. “People have been waiting for a derby like this for a long time, where both meet at such a good level,” said Rapid coach Ferdinand Feldhofer.
25,000 tickets have already been sold, the Allianz Stadium will probably be sold out today. Manfred Schmid is also looking forward to the derby – even though the Austria coach may have to watch the game on TV. The 51-year-old is currently in corona quarantine. “Personally, I’m a little better, on Saturday it will be decided whether I can be there. We are well prepared for all eventualities.”
