Team Reviews
Rapid Wien
Rapid Wien, coached by Robert Klauß, is preparing for the 2025-26 Austrian Bundesliga season after a solid 2024-25 campaign. They recently won a friendly 1-0 against a Czech side, showing defensive organization. Their form includes 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss in their last five matches, averaging around 2.0 goals scored and 1.0 goal conceded. Key players include Guido Burgstaller (veteran striker), Matthias Seidl (midfield creator), and goalkeeper Niklas Hedl. Rapid’s strengths are their home support at Allianz Stadion and attacking tempo, but the loss of a key winger to a French club may affect their flanks. They aim to sharpen their squad for the Bundesliga and European competitions.
FC Union Berlin
FC Union Berlin, led by Bo Svensson, is gearing up for the 2025-26 Bundesliga season after a mid-table finish. They recently won a friendly 5-0 against a German lower-tier side, showing attacking flair. Their form includes 3 wins and 2 losses in their last five, averaging 2.5 goals scored and 1.2 goals conceded. Key players include Kevin Behrens (proven scorer), Christopher Trimmel (experienced defender), and goalkeeper Frederik Rønnow. Union’s strengths are their physical style and set-piece threat, but they lack depth after losing a key defender. They seek to build momentum for the Bundesliga and DFB Cup.
Head-to-Head
Rapid Wien and Union Berlin met in a 2023 friendly, with Union winning 3-0, led by Behrens’ brace. The game saw Union dominate possession and shots. Matches average around 3.0 goals, with a tendency for over 2.5 goals and low both teams scoring (BTTS) likelihood due to Union’s defensive edge in that clash. Rapid’s home advantage could make this meeting closer, but Union’s physicality remains a challenge.
Predicted Score: Rapid Wien 2-2 Union Berlin
This friendly on July 20, 2025, at Allianz Stadion, Vienna, at 4:00 PM UTC (12:00 PM EDT), is a pre-season test. Rapid’s Burgstaller and Seidl face Union’s Behrens and Trimmel, with both teams likely rotating to test new players. Rapid’s home form gives them a slight edge, but Union’s recent friendly scoring and physical approach keep them competitive. The 22°C afternoon and friendly context suggest a low-card game with goals from both sides’ attacking intent. Expect an open match as both teams experiment tactically. Rapid is likely to score through Burgstaller, with Behrens or a winger netting for Union. A draw is probable, reflecting both teams’ pre-season focus on fitness and tactics.
