Form Guide — Last 5
Rapid Vienna
Rapid Vienna's recent form shows a win against FC Santa Coloma 3‑1 away and a 6‑2 victory at home, both illustrating their scoring potency. Those results reinforce a strong attacking rhythm, which backs the expectation of a win against Paide.
Paide
Paide's last five league games include a 1‑1 draw away at Hegelmann Litauen and a 1‑1 draw away at Zira, indicating limited away scoring. Even their wins (3‑0 at home vs Hegelmann and 1‑0 at home vs Zira) were low‑scoring, suggesting they lack the firepower to challenge Vienna's attack.
