Salzburg and Rapid want to win away, Austria at home – football –
League leader Red Bull Salzburg is aiming for a continuation of the successful run after ten consecutive wins in round eleven of the Bundesliga away against the penultimate SCR Altach on Saturday (5 p.m.). Rapid Vienna, eighth in the table, is at the same time at third Austria Klagenfurt and has its fourth win of the season in its sights. Austria Wien, currently ninth in the table, expects their first home win against Admira, who are one point more in seventh place.
Red Bull Salzburg would like to see a continuation of the series of victories in order to recharge their batteries for the Champions League home game on Wednesday against VfL Wolfsburg. With regard to this game, coach Matthias Jaissle will probably spare one or the other regular player.
Seven players will not make the trip to Vorarlberg. Nevertheless, the quality in the squad is high enough to get three points, emphasized Jaissle. “If we show our performance, we have a very good chance of leaving the field as a winner. But only then. Despite our great record, we have seen that there is no sure-fire success in this league and that we work hard for every success, Wannen . “
For Altach coach Damir Canadi, the roles are clear. “Salzburg is currently the outstanding team. If we achieve a positive result, it would be a big sensation,” said the Viennese. His team has been without a win for six games and is one point ahead of the bottom of the table WSG Tirol in penultimate place.
SK Rapid will be visiting its last master coach on Saturday. SK Austria Klagenfurt, supervised by Peter Pacult, is two points ahead of last year’s second before the eleventh round. The 5-2 victory over WSG Tirol immediately before the championship break took off in Hütteldorf before pressure. Anything but the fourth win of the season would make the situation uncomfortable for the team around coach Dietmar Kühbauer at the beginning of the next intensive month.
“It will stay tight in the regular season if we don’t get a run, which of course would be good,” said Kühbauer on Friday. He also knows that Rapid have not yet achieved two wins in a row in the current championship. Eighth place does not currently give the coach any worries. Also because the third place held by the Klagenfurters is only two points away. “No matter how the game ends, we are guaranteed to be among the top six,” promised Kühbauer, “and then the cards will be shuffled again.”
Tactical development was hardly possible during the break, said Kühbauer in view of seven Rapidlers who were on the way as national players. “Actually it was the same as in the previous weeks, you have to be honest. After all, according to the coach, all team players came back fit.
Kühbauer contradicted the assumption of Klagenfurt coach Peter Pacult. said: “We are prepared for. Rapid will probably show up with a different face. For them, the break may have come at the right time to correct a lot. For us it was also good to recharge the batteries because we couldn’t so have a broad squad. “
Meanwhile, Wiener Austria is waiting for the first sense of achievement this season in front of a home crowd in mid-October. The violets are still unbeaten at home in the Bundesliga, but have not yet fully posted four draws in four appearances in the Generali Arena. The next chance for the Viennese arises on Saturday, when Admira is a guest at the end of the first half of the regular season.
Before the duel, the Südstadters are in seventh place two places ahead of Austria, but only one point separates the opponents. Andreas Herzog spoke of a “trend-setting game” for both teams. His team wanted to take the three points with them, said the Admira coach. His counterpart Manfred Schmid will naturally celebrate a home win.
The Austrian team is not satisfied with the number of points so far – eleven after ten laps. Schmid’s summary of Feld’s previous appearances is somewhat positive, but the view of only twelve hits is not a nice one for the head coach. “There were hardly any games in which we didn’t have any chances to score. The fact that we didn’t get more out of that is what I have to criticize. It would have been more possible, especially at home games,” said Schmid.
