May 26th features a match where Wattens hosts Rapid Wien at Tivoli Stadion Tirol in a meeting of these two Tipico Bundesliga teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 20 degrees, a perfect day for football. In Wattens’s last match they recorded a 2-1 win against LASK Linz. Giacomo Vrioni struck first for Wattens in the 22nd minute, then Thomas Sabitzer added another in the 1st minute of the first half’s stoppage time. With 20 points in their last 10 matches Wattens should be reasonably happy with their performance, while 5th placed Rapid Wien is fresh off their 1-2 loss against Wolfsberger AC. Marco Grüll scored the first goal for Rapid Wien in the 35th minute, then in the 74th minute, Michael Liendl sent in a beautiful pass which was converted by Thai Baribo But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback victory in the 75th minute on a goal by Jasic. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 4 of their last 10.
