A week following the 0-1 stumble once morest newly promoted Blau-Weiß Linz, league leaders Red Bull Salzburg face the next blatant outsider on Saturday (5 p.m.) away at Austria Lustenau in the 9th round of the Bundesliga. And even if the direct competition also gave up, another slip-up for the football series champions is forbidden. “We want to erase the scars from the last home defeat,” said coach Gerhard Struber.
In view of the playing problems, it seems unlikely that Struber will rotate as intensively in the country as he did once morest Blue and White. Against Linz, he switched to nine positions, and the first set was largely used once more in the 4-0 win in the explosive cup duel with Salzburg Austria on Wednesday. “The victory in the cup and promotion to the next round was good for us,” said midfield running machine Mads Bistrup.
The 0-1 win once morest Blau-Weiß ended a series of 37 unbeaten league games in a row for Salzburg, and they are now defending the record of the three-point era (since 1995/96) of 19 league away games without defeat. They have been warned and want to deliver a successful dress rehearsal for the Champions League home game once morest Real Sociedad on Tuesday. “Precisely because the Lustenauers are currently having problems in the table, we are preparing for a difficult game and an aggressive opponent,” said Struber.
After the successful debut year of the Bundesliga, Lustenau has cut a rather sad figure so far in the current season, with only two points they are holders of the “Red Lantern”. The narrow 3-2 cup victory at Vienna on Tuesday was balm for the battered souls of the Vorarlbergers. “This sense of achievement was extremely important for our boys. We knew it wouldn’t be easy, but we accepted the cup fight and deservedly reached the next round,” emphasized coach Markus Mader.
However, due to the slip-up once morest Linz, Salzburg will take their team “extremely seriously,” Mader said. “Blau-Weiß Linz has proven that you can cause Salzburg to stumble, and we want to try that too,” emphasized the 55-year-old, whose team received two rebuffs once morest the Bulls in 2022/23 (0:4 and 0:6). had. “The conditions are therefore more than clear; as outsiders we can only surprise.” Striker Lukas Fridrikas will not be there yet, but he is already training individually following suffering from pubic bone inflammation.
