Rapid Vienna take on the visitors Salzburg at “Worthersee Stadion” in the final match of the OFB Cup. The game will be played in Klagenfurt on Thursday, June 1st.
Rapid Vienna demonstrated weak performance in the Tipico Bundesliga this season: the side occupies the sixth position in the standings with 43 points earned and 50-41 goal difference after 35 rounds. Thus, winning the OFB Cup is the team’s only possibility to relieve the season and to qualify the Eurocups next season. Goran Djuricin’s side had entered the OFB Cup at the 1/32 stage and knocked out Karabakh Vienna 3:1, Leobendorf 1:0, BW Linz 4:0, St. Polten 3:1 and LASK Linz 2:1 in the semi-final. It means that Rapid Vienna recorded 13 goals for and three goals against in five Cup’s encounters.

Salzburg became the Tipico Bundesliga’s champion in the fourth time in a row with the tremendous 18-point gap from the closest chaser. In 35 matchdays Oscar García’s team picked up 78 points with 73 goals for and 24 goals against. ”Die Roten Bullen” knocked out Vorwarts Steyr 3:1, Mannsdorf 7:1, FAC Wien 2:0, Kapfenberg 2:1 and Admira 5:0 in the semi-final at their pace to the OFB Cup final. As a result, Salzburg scored 19 goals for and three goals against in five clashes.
Salzburg have not been beaten by Rapid Vienna since the 1st of August 2015 across seven consecutive head-to-heads recording five triumphs and two draws in them. The winning run of ”Die Roten Bullen” consists of three games with 4:1 aggregated score. At the moment there is only one club in Austria which shows much stronger football than the rest and it will prove it in the final for sure.
Prediction for the match: Salzburg to win.
