Whoever is a guest in this Salzburg league can only do one thing: surprise. So far this year no team in Austria has succeeded. The WAC was also denied a point against the champions. But that is manageable. The success of a season in the Bundesliga is not measured by the yield against the bulls. More like how many duels there are with them in one season. If there are four, Hutmann has already achieved a lot in Wolfsberg. If there are two, you landed in the lower play-off.

At the WAC it is not yet clear where the journey will go. After less than half of the regular season, this applies to all teams except for yesterday’s opponents and Sturm. The clubs are closer to each other around the dividing line than they have ever been since the introduction of the play-off system. This could keep the race open until the end. On the other hand, there is a risk of being passed back quickly in the case of a negative series.

The WAC is ahead of one with a point from the last three games. Overall, two wins after nine games are not enough for the Lavanttal claims. The key to a return to winning ways is the much-needed stabilization of the defensive. Because offensively, the WAC can be dangerous for all teams in the league.
