After narrow defeat last Sunday away in Graz it says on Saturday that next home game at. The team of head coach Ivan Zivko receives at an unusual time on Saturday at 6 p.m. the Styrian Bears. The game of the division team against the Styrian Panthers, which would have taken place in advance, was cancelled.
The Styrian Bears come to Simmering as a promoted team and so far without a win. In week three, the team of head coach Martin Kocian, with whom coach Zivko has already fought many battles, had to face the Swarco Raiders Tirol and showed a strong performance despite the defeat. “With the Styrian Bears, we have a newcomer who played well in the last game.”, Ivan Zivko also knows how to classify the performance of the Bears. In addition, Zivko is looking forward to the matchup of two Austrian quarterback. Because with Bastian Steinmeier and Nico Hrouda we will see the first purely Austrian playmaker duel on Saturday. “I think it’s a big thing for football that we have teams that rely on Austrian quarterbacks. And I’m very excited to see how both will perform.” Zivko hopes for an exciting encounter.
It will be very important for the Vikings that home strength to use again. The team is at the Ravelin undefeated since November 2021 and head coach Zivko knows: “For us it is very important to offer the best performance that we can at home. We’ve done well there so far.” Like last week, the Vikings will field many young players on Saturday due to various absences. Against Graz and also against the Danube Dragons, the team has already proven that it can play very good football with young Austrian players. They also want to show that against the opponent from Styria on Saturday. “We will try to offer our fans a great show” says coach Zivko, who adds that he is really looking forward to Saturday’s game.
Unfortunately, our import running back Lamar Carswell suffered a severe muscular hamstring injury in the game against the Danube Dragons. This makes it impossible for him to come back to the field again in the current season and therefore unfortunately means the end of the season for the running back. Lamar is already on his way back to the USA. We wish him all the best and a speedy full recovery!
