Form Guide & Team Overview
SK Rapid
SK Rapid’s recent form has been a mixed bag, with their last five matches yielding just one win. Their most recent outing was a 0-2 loss at home to Hartberg, which will have dented their confidence. However, draws against Hartberg away and Austria Wien show they can hold their own against tough opposition.
