Vienna derby is coming: Rapid Vienna wants to defeat Austria!
Another highly anticipated sporting event is coming up in Vienna: On Sunday, September 28, 2025, the two city rivals SK Rapid Wien and FK Austria Wien will meet in the Allianz Stadium. This sporting exchange of blows, known as the Vienna Derby, is one of the most emotional duels in Austrian football and attracts numerous spectators year after year. Kick-off is at 5:00 p.m. when both teams will show what they can do on the pitch.
Given the current form of both teams, Rapid Vienna goes into the game as favorites. Coach Schmidt's team got off to a good start to the season with 17 points from 7 games. They have 5 wins and just 2 draws, which puts them in second place in the table. Austria Vienna, on the other hand, has only collected 10 points so far and is therefore only in the middle of the table. Their last success was a narrow 3-2 win against SV Ried, which certainly didn't show their usual brilliance.
The history of the Vienna Derby
The first meeting between the two traditional clubs took place on September 8, 1911 and ended with a 4-1 win for Rapid. In the last 339 competitive games, Hütteldorfer have won a total of 138 times, while Austria has achieved 120 wins.
Without question, the Vienna Derby is one of the most frequently played city derbies in Europe, right after the Old Firm in Scotland and the Edinburgh Derby. Historically shaped, it not only reflects the sporting rivalry, but also the social differences between the two clubs. While Rapid is often seen as a club for the “common man”, Austria Vienna represents the middle class.
An intense fan culture and competition between the two fan groups means that a strong police presence is often required at games to avoid possible riots.
