Rapid Vienna host TSV Hartberg in the Austrian Bundesliga. Rapid have been the form side this season, while Hartberg have had a tougher time of things so far.
This one's still a few weeks off, so there's time for things to shift before kickoff. What stands out already is how differently these two sides have fared against each other over the years compared to where they sit in the table right now.

Hartberg have shown they can trouble strong opposition on their day, even if consistency has been an issue.

Rapid have had big away wins in this fixture too, including a 5-1 in 2022 and a 3-0 in 2024, so results have swung both ways over time rather than settling into a clear pattern.
That inconsistency in head-to-head results is worth keeping in mind given how far apart the two sides currently sit in the table.
Where they stand
Seven games into the season, Rapid Vienna sit top of the table with 18 points from six wins and just one defeat. TSV Hartberg are down in sixth, with eight points from two wins, two draws and three losses.
| № | Team | Played | Win | Draw | Loss | GF/GA | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Rapid Vienna | 7 | 6 | 0 | 1 | 21/7 | 18 |
| 2 | Red Bull Salzburg | 7 | 5 | 2 | 0 | 18/4 | 17 |
| 3 | Lask Linz | 7 | 5 | 1 | 1 | 19/7 | 16 |

| 6 | TSV Hartberg | 7 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 10/13 | 8 |
| 7 | WSG Wattens | 7 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 9/12 | 8 |
That's a real gap in results so far this term, at least on the league table alone.
An eight-point gap after only seven games points to genuine separation between the two sides right now.

Attacking threats and a few cautions
Rapid's scoring has been spread around, with T. Adamsen on four goals in seven appearances, and E. Kara and P. Dahl each on three. That kind of spread suggests they don't rely on just one man for goals.
Hartberg's numbers here are thinner - A. Radulović has two goals from a single match, which isn't enough to draw firm conclusions, while T. Kainz has chipped in with assists. A few players on both sides, including K. Schopp and P. Dahl, are already on two yellow cards this term, so discipline could be worth watching if things get feisty.

Rapid look the stronger side on paper this season, but Hartberg have made a habit of turning up in this exact fixture regardless of where they sit in the table. That contrast between current form and head-to-head history makes this one harder to call cleanly than the standings alone suggest.
With no market offered to weigh against that mixed picture, we're not making a selection here. It's a fixture worth watching rather than backing blind.
