The relegation battle is coming to a head for Vorwarts Steyr

2023-05-20 06:00:00

It’s a real final that SK Verwarts Steyr has to play on Sunday from 12:30 p.m. in the second division away to the Sturm Graz amateurs. Steyr is currently one point ahead of Graz in 14th place in the table. As things stand today, that would not be enough for both teams to stay up in the league. Currently only 13th place is enough for that.

Because with SV Stripfing, an applicant from the Regionalliga Ost has now received approval for the next second division season at the third attempt. That’s why three instead of two relegated teams are now in the second division. The only exception: if Bregenz remains third in the Regionalliga West, then there will be no promoters from this league. The Bregenzers were the only club to be admitted, but they have to be at least second. And that is actually to be expected.

Anything is possible for Vorwarts Steyr anyway, regardless of the final number of relegations. The ninth Admira is only separated from the fourteenth by three points. The Steyrers have everything in their own hands in the remaining games once morest Sturm Graz, Vienna and Admira – and they won’t have to win all three games to do so.

Coach Daniel Madlener calls for the same motto for these games as for the relegation battle in general: “We have to be as compact defensively as in the past games and patiently wait for our chances.” Most recently, with enough patience, Forward Steyr scored seven points from three games.

Team arrives on Saturday

Unusual: Although the journey to Graz would take just under two and a half hours, the players travel the day before the game and spend the night in Styria. In the tough relegation battle, even such small details can make all the difference in the end.
