Matthias Jaissle and his team will be back on the road to victory
JOE KLAMAR, APA
It wasn’t the easiest time for Red Bull Salzburg recently. First the goalless draw against Admira last weekend, then followed the narrow away defeat in Lille in the Champions League group stage, where the premature promotion to the last sixteen was not fixed again. It was not the most pleasant days for the otherwise successful Mozartstadters who are still the sovereign leaders in the Bundesliga and still have a chance of getting into the knockout phase in the premier class. But before the final group game against FC Sevilla, Matthias Jaissle and his team will continue in the league, where the next easy away game against newly promoted Austria Klagenfurt will be. Peter Pacult’s squad remained unbeaten in the past seven home games and is currently fifth in the table.
Salzburg coach Jaissle will quickly focus on everyday life in the league after the bitter defeat against Lille, as he assured in the run-up to the match: “The defeat in Lille was of course painful, that’s no question. But we analyzed the game and So far, the team has always managed to flip the switch, was expected. ”
Klagenfurt with the second fewest defeats
The so far unbeaten series in the Bundesliga is hoping for more points in the account of the series champion. In the first 15 games they did not lose, only SK Rapid in 1982, 85 and 87 and Wacker Innsbruck in 1989 and 2001 succeeded 17 wins and played four draws. Klagenfurt, on the other hand, only had to end four games as a loser this season, so after the league croesus they have conceded the fewest bankruptcies of all Bundesliga teams. In addition, they stayed with five draws and two wins in the past seven home games without defeat. A newly promoted team last did that in the 2011/12 season, when Admira made a brilliant home start with six wins and one draw in the first seven games.
Brenden Aaronson makes it clear: “Klagenfurt does it really well and plays a very strong role as a newcomer. Especially at home they are very difficult to beat. We can’t believe that we can get over them that easily. We need a lot more full concentration again on this game and on the fact that we implement our match plan exactly. ”
