Austria Klagenfurt vs Rapid Vienna: Betting Tips & Odds
Here are our predictions for the Championship Round fixture in the Austrian Bundesliga between Austria Klagenfurt and Rapid Vienna. The visitors can't move up any higher on the final day of the season but still need a positive result to ensure they finish in fourth place. Even a victory for Klagenfurt wouldn't be likely to lift them out of sixth position but the hosts will still want to end the season on a high note in front of their own fans.
Contents
Rapid Vienna to Win
Our first Austria Klagenfurt vs Rapid Vienna prediction concerns the full-time result. Rapid Vienna have outplayed Austria Klagenfurt in most departments this season and we're backing the visitors to secure all 3pts this weekend. Rapid have won four of their last six meetings with Austria Klagenfurt, including a 3-1 home win back in April, and the hosts are without a win in their last five matches, losing three times and drawing twice. Rapid Vienna, on the other hand, ended their winless run last time out against Sturm Graz.
Guido Burgstaller to Score
Our second Austria Klagenfurt vs Rapid Vienna prediction is for Burgstaller to score at any time. Rapid's veteran forward, Guido Bergstaller, has been in top form this season, netting 21-goals so far and only three of those arrived from the penalty spot. The former Schalke forward enjoyed a successful time in Germany, less so in the English Championship with Cardiff City, but produced his best goals return this season back in his homeland. We're backing Burgstaller to score again this weekend when his side make the trip to Klagenfurt.

Austria Klagenfurt vs Rapid Vienna Lineups and Last Match
Austria Klagenfurt
Klagenfurt gave Salzburg a run for their money last time out but eventually slipped to a narrow 3-2 defeat. Goals from Moreira and Irving handed Klagenfurt a 2-0 lead at the interval but Salzburg made some changes at the break and scored three times in the second forty-five to win the game. Soto only lasted 17-minutes before being replaced by Miesenbock and is unlikely to feature in the final game of the campaign.
Predicted Lineup – Menzel (GK), Mahrer, Moreira, Gkezos, Blauensteiner, Schumacher, Benatelli, Cvetko, Jaritz, Irving & Miesenböck
Rapid Vienna
Rapid Vienna were also involved in a 5-goal thriller last weekend but they came out on the right end of a 3-2 scoreline, unlike Klagenfurt. Strum Graz went 2-0 up after 33-minutes but Rapid scored twice before the break through Burgstaller and Kerschbaum to make it 2-2 at the break. Grull scored the winning goal in the 66th minute to end Vienna's winless run. Querfeld and Dibon could both miss out on Saturday through injury.
Predicted Lineup – Hedl (GK), Sollbauer, Wimmer, Auer, Schick, Kerschbaum, Kühn, Pejić, Oswald, Burgstaller & Grüll

Player to Watch: Guido Burgstaller
We can't single out anyone else but Guido Burgstaller ahead of the final game of the season between Austria Klagenfurt and Rapid Vienna this weekend.
The 34-year-old Austrian striker has enjoyed his most fruitful season in front of goal, netting 21 times in the Bundesliga alone. Some of you may recognise his name from a brief spell at Cardiff City in 2014/15 where he only made three appearances or perhaps from his more successful time in Germany with Nurnberg, Schalke and St Pauli.
Burgstaller might be coming to the end of his career but he has shown the Rapid Vienna fans that he still has plenty left to offer and we're expecting another big performance from the in-form striker this weekend.
