Match facts: Rapid Vienna v Grazer AK in the Bundesliga

The Bundesliga duel in Hütteldorf is the next chapter of a storied encounter.

🏆 Bundesliga & Series

Rapid enters the home game against the bottom-ranked GAK as the favorite, but the current season shows: No opponent should be underestimated. Of 13 matches, the Green-Whites have won seven, but only two of those by more than one goal difference.

The first season duel was also close – Rapid led through Antiste's debut goal, but conceded the 1-1 equalizer via penalty in stoppage time. A déjà vu of the previous season, when Rapid also equalized late with a penalty in Graz.

The only previous duel at Allianz Stadium ended clearly in March 2025 with a 3-0. At that time, Cvetković, Beljo, and Jansson scored – of them, only Cvetković remains in the squad today.

With him and Antiste, only two current Rapid players have scored against GAK; Captain Seidl scored another goal in 2022 wearing the Linz jersey.

🗓 Date & Home Advantage

Rapid has historically dominated this pairing: 80 wins out of 147 games, 51 of them at home out of 73. However, three of the last four home games were lost.

GAK, however, has only secured two points away from home this season.

⚽ Players in Focus

Cvetković and Antiste are Rapid's current GAK goal scorers.

Former Rapid coach Feldhofer, meanwhile, urgently wants to deliver points for his new club.
