VIENNA (Interstat) — A crucial Bundesliga fixture with playoff implications awaits Wednesday as Rapid Vienna hosts Hocheg Dacher E/H at the Allianz Stadion.

The match, set for April 22, 2026, is a rematch of a 1-1 draw between the sides just over two months ago on Feb. 7. In their prior meeting last August, Rapid Vienna secured a 1-0 victory on the road.

Rapid Vienna (8-7-10) looks to rebound from a disappointing 2-0 home loss to Sturm Graz on April 5, which snapped a modest three-match unbeaten run in league play. Before that defeat, Rapid had shown resilience, including a 1-0 victory over FC Red Bull Salzburg on March 15. Their form at home has been inconsistent, however, with the loss to Sturm Graz following a 4-2 win over SPG LASK Amateure/OO.

Hocheg Dacher E/H (10-5-10) arrives in the capital riding a wave of momentum following a commanding 5-1 home victory over Leoben on April 18. That result highlighted their potent attack, which has produced 16 goals in their last six matches across all competitions. Despite this offensive surge, their recent form has been mixed, with a 2-1 loss to FC Red Bull Salzburg and a 1-0 defeat to Young Violets Austria Wien in March.

The historical edge in the head-to-head series belongs to Rapid Vienna, but the recent draw suggests a narrowing gap. Hocheg Dacher E/H’s high-scoring performances indicate they will pose a significant threat, while Rapid Vienna will rely on home advantage and a desire to stabilize their league position.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, the projected outcome is a 2-1 victory for Rapid Vienna.

Following this Bundesliga clash, Hocheg Dacher E/H’s schedule returns to regional Landesliga competition, with a match at Wildon slated for Friday, April 24. Rapid Vienna’s next Bundesliga fixture is yet to be announced.

Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. local time (1730 GMT).
