SUNDAYS are almost at full flight with just the Nordic games to return – it does mean though their are a ridiculous number of games to try to look through.
I'm gong to focus on the Austrian and Belgian top-flight games and it's great to see them kick off at the same time rather than be staggered over 2-3 days.
I'm heading to Vienna as Rapid host fellow strugglers Hartberg in what has been a really disappointing season for the 25-time Bundesliga winners. Fans of Hartberg certainly can't say they haven't been entertained this season with 76 goals scored in their games which is more than any club in the division.
Rapid Vienna vs Hartberg (4pm)
These two met last week with Hartberg running out 2-1 winners and collecting a much-needed three ponts. The visitors' gung-ho mentality on the road makes for plenty of goals with 9 of their 10 away game going over 2.5 goals.
Their last 6 games away from home has seen 34 goals scored (F15 A19) 3-4 2-3 1-2 3-3 6-1 4-2 and you have to fear for them here, a place they were hammered 5-2 in a cup match last month.
Rapid will fancy their chances at home having produced a terrific 2-0 win against runaway leaders Salzburg in their last home game.
Given Hartberg's leaky defence I'd be surprised if Rapid didn't manage at least three goals and despite their defensive frailties, Hartberg are no slouches in attack with only Salzburg and LASK scoring more.
Taking there to be another high-scoring match here with both sides contributing (3-1 4-1 win would do fine).
