Austria Klagenfurt vs Rapid Vienna Prediction: Klagenfurt eye first season win

28 Black Arena will be the venue for this round 2 Austria Bundesliga League encounter between Austria Klagenfurt and Rapid Vienna. Let's preview this game and make a prediction.

Austria Klagenfurt struggled in their opening league game against Wolfsberger AC. In that encounter, this team lost 4-1, conceding three times within the first 23 minutes of the match. However, despite Laurenz Dehl scoring for this side in the last minutes of the game, it could only serve as consolation. Heading into this game, the home side will come in as underdogs, and they will have to be at their utmost best if they want a good result here. 

Rapid Vienna are coming off a 0-1 win over Trabzonspor in the Europa League qualifying round. In that game, Lukas Grgic's 67th-minute goal was the difference for this team, giving them a huge advantage going into the second leg. In the meantime, their first season encounter was against Sturm Graz, and they also won 1-0 at home. Rapid Vienna have an unbeaten run of five games heading into this game. 

Austria Klagenfurt did not show they were up to the task with their opening performance. However, Rapid Vienna showed character with their win over last season's champions, and we can expect more from them. Austria Klagenfurt could do better in this game, given they are home, but I do not see them stopping the road team from winning in what should be a high-scoring encounter.
