Recent history strongly favours Rapid Wien. The Green-Whites are unbeaten in the last five league meetings, recording three victories and two draws. Last season's encounters ended 0-0 in Vienna before a 1-1 draw in Altach, while Rapid won 5-0 and 1-0 in the previous campaign.
Rapid Wien team overview
Rapid enter the fixture in excellent form. They defeated Santa Coloma 3-1 away before completing the job with a 6-2 home victory, either side of a comfortable 3-0 OFB Cup success over Wienerberg. Their impressive finish to last season also included a 3-0 victory over SV Ried in the Bundesliga play-off final.
The squad should be close to full strength, although winger Andrija Radulović is unavailable through injury, while Yusuf Demir is suspended for the league opener. Despite those absences, Rapid possess significantly greater attacking depth than their visitors and will expect to dominate possession in front of their home supporters.

Altach team overview
Altach's preparation has been quieter but reasonably positive. Their only competitive outing this season was a 1-0 cup victory over Leobendorf. They finished the previous Bundesliga season with mixed results, including a valuable 2-0 win over SV Ried and a 2-2 draw away at Grazer AK, although heavy defeats against Wolfsberger AC and Blau-Weiß Linz highlighted the defensive issues that plagued their campaign.
Current reports indicate that Altach have no major injury concerns ahead of the trip to Vienna, allowing head coach Ognjen Zarić to select from a full-strength squad. Nevertheless, they are likely to adopt a compact defensive approach and rely on counter-attacking opportunities against one of the league favourites.
