Austria Lustenau's equivalent run reads 8 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses. Zooming into their league matches specifically, they've beaten Altach and Wolfsberger but also lost at Austria Vienna and been beaten 4-0 at home by Wattens, so the form has been up and down rather than settled in either direction.

Rapid's broader sample points to a side firing on all cylinders, while Lustenau look capable of good results but not yet consistent ones.

Comparative Team Statistics: Rapid Vienna vs Austria Lustenau

History between the two

The last four meetings go back to 2022 and 2024, and they've been fairly even affairs on paper — a 3-3 draw, a 1-1 draw, and a 1-1 draw again, alongside one lopsided 5-0 win for Rapid in Lustenau back in 2023.

That head-to-head record is now well over a year old, though, and doesn't reflect where either club is currently at. Given how differently their seasons have started this time round, we wouldn't lean too heavily on those older scorelines.

Where they sit in the table

Rapid Vienna are top of the Bundesliga after seven games, with six wins, one defeat and just seven goals conceded. Lustenau are down in eighth from the same number of matches, with two wins, two draws and three losses.

That's a ten-point gap already this early in the season, and it lines up with what the goal difference suggests too — Rapid have scored 21 and conceded 7, Lustenau have scored 8 and shipped 11.
