Truthful Week Unveiled for Klauß & Rapid
Rapid, the capital city's football team, is gearing up for the highly anticipated Vienna derby against city rivals Austria. The match, scheduled for Sunday, will mark the 345th derby between the two teams.
Peter Stöger, the current coach of Rapid, will lead the team in this crucial encounter. Stöger signed a contract running until summer 2027, demonstrating the club's commitment to him.
However, the fight for a European starting place is far from over for Rapid. The team has failed to win their last two games, with recent losses against RB Salzburg and double champions Sturm Graz, which has widened the 10-point gap to the Graz table leaders. This gap means Rapid has dropped out of the race for the first championship title since 2008.
Coach Robert Klauß has emphasised the need for Rapid to get back on track, stating that what was missing in the last two games needs to be addressed now. The team around captain Matthias Seidl has played two games in the championship group so far and suffered two 0-2 defeats.
On a positive note, Rapid is scheduled to play in the Conference League quarter-final against Djurgarden on Swedish turf on Thursday at 9 pm, live on Canal+. The Conference League quarter-final against Djurgarden will be followed by the Vienna derby on Sunday at 5 pm, live on Sky.
Unfortunately, Austria will play the derby as an away team, as the game will be played without fans for Austria due to derby incidents in September. The league goalless draw for Austria was against WAC, and their recent form has mirrored that of Rapid, with both teams failing to win their last two games.
The upcoming Vienna derby will not be live on Sky, as previously mentioned. The bitter cup semi-final exit for Austria was against Hartberg.
In conclusion, the Vienna derby promises to be a thrilling encounter as both teams seek to turn their fortunes around. With the Conference League quarter-final against Djurgarden on the horizon, Rapid will be hoping to use this as a stepping stone towards a much-needed victory in the derby and a stronger finish to the season.
