The competition doesn’t give us any breathing space these weeks. Above all, the BSK sometimes keeps more than just one step and thus makes a guest appearance in the absolute top game in the Salzburg regional league on Saturday.
Did they really manage with their win in the follow-up game on Wednesday against Saalfelden that they go into the hit on Saturday as table leaders: Bischofshofen is the big hunted this weekend, Austria the well-rested hunter – second first, top game is on it, see Let’s take a look at what WILL be in there in the Maxglan witches’ cauldron.
siege in any situation
The more recent episode of our games against Bischofshofener SK has a lot of positive things in store for Austria. In the clashes since 2017, we first encountered the Pongauers as a blatant outsider, and a little later as the clear favorite. A few exceptions like last year’s state cup end confirm the rule, but it says: We almost always beat the BSK, from every conceivable starting position.
It’s nice that it never gets boring and that we can now look forward to the most attractive of all omens for this duel: The 1933 clubs are now meeting the paper form on an equal footing for the first time and are playing the top game of the round, also in the truest sense of the word.
Recent clean sheets and young goal threat
1:0, 2:0, 6:0 and 7:0, we had nothing but nice results at the end of our league home games against BSK since 2017 on the Maxglaner scoreboard. But our boys have to be careful that this series from zero lasts this time, because the goal threat of Pongauer, who has impressively strengthened under coach Andreas Fötschl, can be personified twice:
There’s the classic number 9, Viktor Drocic. The 1.90 tall man was born in Vienna and came to Schanzenstadt from FC Mauerwerk in the summer. The Austrian-Serbian dual citizen is 22 years old and has already scored eleven goals this season at the beginning of September. Mohamed Khalil returned to Pongau at the beginning of this year. The young Turk (21) had been chasing goals for SC Ritzing for a season and a half. Back in the West, he has five goals this season. On the pitch we will recognize him for his dangerousness and the less classic shirt number 47.
This is Austria speaking!
All in all, it’s a colorful and meanwhile well-functioning bunch that WILL face our boys. The latter is obviously the responsibility of trainer and communicator Andreas Fötschl, who appears to be heard in English. Everything simply cannot be done in German, the 48-year-old recently explained of his task of moderating this uncomplicated mix of nations. From talent from the continent to the man who came from Greece’s second division, there is quite a lot gathered in the blue and white Pongau.
In any case, Elias Kircher and Nico Mayer, who lost his way at the Pongau junction two years ago on the way to becoming an Austria legend, already includes in comparison to the constants in Bischofshofen.
Maybe at the end of the game we’ll talk about the extra regeneration that could increase our Austria’s advantage. FC Pinzgau as an additional opponent is certainly not a dresser thing, especially in this tight game where the threesome was only bagged with the final whistle. It’s possible that either the points or the strength will go haywire.
“We’re ready to win,” coach Christian Schaider is looking forward to the top game, the usual absences are as usual and don’t detract from it at all. Christoph Bann could be ready in three weeks, a comeback by Trkulja and Wiedl doesn’t seem realistic until mid-October.
In any case, everything is there, sporty, linguistically and in the stories surrounding this game, so a tense duel is preparing. Whether in commendably tried German or in well-versed Fötschl football English: Let’s make sure that the voices of Austria resonate everywhere today and that on Saturday (autumn time, the game starts again at 4 p.m.) we can only talk about a victory for Austria !
