Football champions Salzburg would like to forget the 0-2 lesson in the Champions League at home once morest Real Sociedad before the international break in the league. The league leaders will be visiting Austria Klagenfurt in the tenth round of the Bundesliga on Sunday (5 p.m./live Sky). As early as 2:30 p.m., LASK is fighting not to lose sight of the leading duo of Salzburg and Sturm Graz. Meanwhile, the people of Graz are visiting the WAC in nearby Wolfsberg.
The Carinthians have only suffered one defeat in nine league rounds this season. They achieved the feat of scoring three points once morest Salzburg in November 2021 with a 2-1 home win. However, there were four defeats in the previous season. The Violets were also denied a goal in the two home games. “In order to be able to write once morest Salzburg, everything has to be right,” emphasized Klagenfurt coach Peter Pacult.
Salzburg coach Gerhard Struber announced that he would bring in fresh talent following the Champions League game once morest San Sebastian. “We still leave it open to what extent this will be.” Midfielder Maurits Kjaergaard is missing due to a foot injury. Amankwah Forson or Nicolas Capaldo can therefore have hopes of being in the starting eleven. Two other alternatives, Dijon Kameri and Luka Sucic, are questionable due to illness.
LASK recently suffered two setbacks with defeats at WAC (1:2) and in the Europa League on Thursday in Toulouse (0:1). The SCR Altach, which is a guest at the Gugl, is one of the third-placed team’s favorite opponents. There have only been two defeats in 24 Bundesliga comparisons so far. However, LASK coach Thomas Sageder warned once morest the seventh-placed Vorarlberg team. “Altach got off to a pretty good start in the league, only dropping points once morest top teams and conceding very few goals,” said the 40-year-old, who was therefore expecting the Altach team in Linz “with a broad chest.”
Altach coach Joachim Standfest warned regarding LASK’s qualities – even if they “perhaps haven’t come out as they are at one time or another.” The Linzers had to find their way with their large number of new players at the start of the season. “They are an absolute top team in Austria and are the first pursuers with Sturm following Salzburg.” However, with a win, Altach might draw level with LASK in the table.
After the success over LASK, the WAC wants to annoy Sturm Graz, the next European Cup starter, in front of their home crowd. As sixth in the table, the WAC are already eight points short of the Styrians, who are still unbeaten nationally, but they still have hopes thanks to their improving form on Sunday. A week ago in Lavanttal, LASK “really got their ass kicked,” as Linz head coach Thomas Sageder noted. The Carinthian strike duo Mohamed Bamba (5 goals this season) and Augustine Boakye (2) were particularly popular and should now also cause terror in Sturm’s back line.
Sturm arrives with a sense of success. The Graz team also achieved their desired victory in the Europa League on Thursday. Before the appearance of champions Salzburg in the evening game in Klagenfurt, the runner-up in Wolfsberg might take over the top of the table at least for a few hours. The league record in the direct duel with 19 wins, five draws and 18 defeats is just in favor of the Graz team, who should rotate easily following the exertions.
