Ried 1-2 SK Rapid result, stats and report

Wolfsberger AC dominated the basics and punished a porous Ried defence to run out convincing 4-1 winners in the Austrian Bundesliga, with Ante Bajic and Isaac Kiese Thelin leading the charge.

WSG Tirol were simply the better side from first whistle to last, putting three past a toothless SK Rapid to take all three points in the Austrian Bundesliga. Ercan Kara, Bendegúz Bolla, and Nikolaus Wurmbrand were all on the scoresheet in a performance that told you everything you needed to know about the gap between these two sides on the night.

Salzburg bossed proceedings at Ried with 68% possession and 24 shots to eight, but a late Philipp Pomer header cancelled out Karim Konaté's goal to leave the points shared in a bad-tempered Austrian Bundesliga clash.

Hartberg edged out Ried 3-2 in a five-goal Austrian Bundesliga encounter on Sunday, with the home side doing enough to hold on despite a late Ried comeback that made the final stages far more uncomfortable than they needed to be.

Ried head into Saturday's Austrian Bundesliga clash having conceded ten goals in their last five matches. Austria Wien arrive with problems of their own, but the evidence points one way.

SK Rapid arrive at Friday's Austrian Bundesliga fixture on the back of four wins from their last five, averaging over three goals per game. Hartberg have not kept a single clean sheet in their last ten matches and that is a serious problem.

LASK Linz arrive at Sunday's Austrian Bundesliga clash on the back of five straight wins and a defensive record that is borderline embarrassing for every opponent they have faced. SK Rapid have goals in them, but they are walking into a home side that simply does not lose right now.

WSG Tirol host a Ried side that has shipped 10 goals in their last five Austrian Bundesliga matches. This is a game about desire and who wants it more.
