Austria Wien – SK Rapid Tip Austria Bundesliga, Matchday 19 on Sunday, 15/02/26 at 17:00
How did the “Violets” start the second half of the season? The outstanding 2-0 victory over RBS has also made it clear that the fight for this year’s Bundesliga crown in the Alpine republic could be a thrilling four-way fight for the first time in a long time!
Meanwhile, the city rivals have also set themselves a lot of goals for the calendar year 2026 and strengthened themselves in the winter with Andreas Weimann and Yusuf Demir. But the first appearances were really not the yellow of the egg.
Five months ago, the FAK was already the better of the two capital clubs and should continue to be so on Sunday, according to my Austria Wien SK Rapid tip.
Austria Wien vs. SK Rapid AI predictions:
Especially after the recent success over the Mozartstadt team, the “Violets” could rush forward from the first second against the city rivals, who are unsettled by the cup exit and the unsatisfactory start to the second half of the season against Hartberg (1-1).
If you are aiming for higher Austria Wien SK betting odds at a betting provider with PaysafeCard, you could therefore opt for the combination bet 1st Goal & Match: Austria at around 2.90. By the way, that would not be a shocking course of play for this Viennese derby!
Because FAK literally overran Salzburg, led 2-0 after only 25 minutes and on top of that Abubakar Barry was offered possibly his best appearance in the jersey of the purple since the 3-2 victory over Ried in September.

In complete contrast to me, our Austria Wien SK Rapid AI prediction advises you to use the Draw-no-Bet option: Rapid at odds of around 2.05 – probably also because the Hütteldorfers have won four of the last six Vienna city derbies.
The odds of about 2.11 are acceptable, as it also protects you from a draw. Personally, however, I weigh the first impressions in the calendar year 2026 much more heavily than our data-oriented AI bettor. Especially since SK has been winless for 11 competitive games.
If, in addition, the same Austria plays that rarely let Salzburg into their own box over 90 minutes, then I don’t want to put my money on Rapid on Sunday in any form!
