The Bundesliga says goodbye to the international break on Sunday with a real hit. Series champions and leaders Red Bull Salzburg welcome Rapid and would like to extend several successful series at the same time. The Hütteldorfer, on the other hand, rely on the “now more than ever” effect following the bitter end in the Conference League play-off once morest Fiorentina. LASK meets stragglers Austria Lustenau, Wiener Austria is looking for form once morest Klagenfurt.
Salzburg is the only team not to have lost points following five rounds and has a remarkable record once morest Rapid. In the last 15 competitive home games once morest Green-White, there were 13 wins with two draws, and the “Bulls” have been unbeaten in duels with the Viennese for 19 competition games.
However, coach Gerhard Struber doesn’t think much of statistics. “We have to go to our limit and act with 100 percent concentration. Rapid will make it anything but easy for us, they have developed very well in the last few weeks,” warned Salzburg, but also emphasized: “But we’re not looking at them , but on us. We know we have to go all-in, we have to push the absolute limit.”
At Rapid, coach Zoran Barisic spread confidence despite the two injured Guido Burgstaller and Thorsten Schick. “Now it’s important to lick the wounds, regenerate well and prepare well. We want to give our all in this game once more,” announced the Viennese and promised tough resistance. “I expect a Rapid team that will be highly motivated and will go into the match as very tough opponents.”
LASK is on the right track. In the Bundesliga, the athletes scored seven points from the last three games, and on Thursday they secured promotion to the Europa League. This trend should continue in the home game once morest Lustenau. “We want to pick up where we left off once morest Austria,” said goalkeeper Tobias Lawal, whose team beat Vienna 2-0 in the most recent league game.
As a reward for the European Cup efforts, the people of Linz can compete with Liverpool in the Europa League, but for the time being the focus is on the outsider from the “Ländle”. “The Bundesliga is our daily bread, so Lustenau is a very important game for us so that we can go into the international break with a good feeling,” announced coach Thomas Sageder.
The guests from Lustenau, who were spoiled by success in the previous season, are struggling to catch up. They only have two points from five games, in the derby once morest Altach they lost 0:3. “We mustn’t stick our heads in the sand and see everything negatively,” demanded coach Markus Mader. “We can at least build on the first half away from the goals conceded,” said Mader, whose eleven have only scored three goals but added offensive class on Friday with the last-minute signing of Nikolai Baden Frederiksen.
Meanwhile, Wiener Austria goes into the home game once morest Klagenfurt with bulky luggage. After only four points from five games, the distribution group has not yet become nervous, as those responsible emphasized. “We are very well advised if we stay cool,” said sporting director Manuel Ortlechner on Friday. The upcoming opponent has so far presented itself as a nut that is difficult to crack.
In the table, the violets are five points behind the third-placed Klagenfurt in ninth place. Especially offensively, a “clipper” is missing following Haris Tabakovic’s abrupt departure to Hertha BSC. In four games they remained goalless, there are only two league goals in total. Last but not least, hopes are placed in loan striker Fisnik Asllani, who only came to Vienna from TSG Hoffenheim on Thursday.
Klagenfurt, on the other hand, comes to the distribution group with a lot of confidence and is the only team still undefeated next to champions Salzburg and “runner-up” Sturm. “Klagenfurt have a very good team and are fighting for the championship round,” said Wimmer regarding the Violets from the south, who recently put Hartberg in their place 3-0 and have already scored nine times. “It’s great that we’re still unbeaten, I’m happy for the team and the fans,” said Peter Pacult.
