In the league, however, they had to be satisfied with a 1-1 draw in the home game against Rapid on the last day of the game after six wins in a row and want one against the next game LASK serve their own followers a complete success again. When the top of the table meets the second in the table, the top game in the Bundesliga is right after the international break, where Matthias Jaissle and his team want to continue the positive series against Linz.
Bundesliga – 10th matchday
“It’s an absolutely top game – first against second – and will certainly be very difficult. But it’s also great that it’s happening again right after the break, the senses are sharpened – at least among the coaching staff, I hope also among the players “, the Salzburg head coach is eager to get back into the league after the break. The record against Dietmar Kühbauer’s team is impressive, they have been unbeaten against LASK for eight games and celebrated seven wins. The last encounter between the two teams ended in a goalless draw, but for the first time again with a point for Linz against Mozartstadt. In addition, the Upper Austrians have made a good start to the season with 18 points after nine games and are currently the first pursuers of the series champions.
Adamu returns, Fernando is further out
Accordingly, Jaissle pays a lot of respect to the upcoming opponent: “LASK has strengthened very well this year. It was also clearly visible in the analysis what quality they bring with them, especially on the offensive. They have clear principles and clear patterns. We have to stand up to it and put everything on the pitch.” The series of 31 unbeaten Bundesliga home games is encouraging in this respect, and they are also particularly defensive with only four goals conceded in the current season. “If the boys in front start up as well as the coach says, then it will be extremely difficult for our opponents and for us on the defensive. The back four itself also works very well, despite the injuries we had.” , emphasizes goalkeeper Philipp Köhn.
However, the Mozart townspeople have been warned that LASK will never leave the field as a loser in the first four away games of the current season and, with 19 goals scored, offers the second-best offensive after the league leader. Salzburg can again count on Junior Adamu, who is back after being suspended, but four pros are still missing: Fernando (thigh), Dijon Kameri (shoulder), Justin Omoregie (thigh) and Samson Tijani (tibia and fibula). , Mamady Diambou and Oumar Solet are at least back in team training. Backing Köhn is motivated for the top game: “We are definitely focused and concentrated on the upcoming top game and are happy that it will continue again.”
