Bundesliga: Austria speculates with surprise

Austria coach Schmid does not assume that this defeat will affect the game on Saturday (5 p.m.) in the Generali Arena. “I am definitely not counting on a battered opponent. The squad is huge, you can change to any position without any loss of performance, ”said Schmid. “I’m hoping for a top game for my team. I think it’s a wonderful job for our squad to play against a Champions League team. Everyone can play against the best in the league. “

The team, currently ranked sixth in the table, is on the right track, emphasize those in charge of the violets. “The mix of young and old works very, very well for us. In terms of points, I think we’re okay. It can stay that way, and should stay that way beyond the weekend, ”said sports director Manuel Ortlechner. “If many components work together on Saturday, it is even possible that you are so surprised that you leave the field as the winner.”

Austria coach Schmid wants to at least remain unbeaten in the home game against Salzburg

First leg gives hosts courage

Courage gives Austria the first leg of the season, which Salzburg won on August 8th, the 66th birthday of Austrian Herbert Prohaska, at home with an Adeyemi goal in the 72nd minute. Schmid tried it with a five-man chain and an additional defensive block in front of it against the ball, which is now the system of choice for most coaches against Salzburg.

Bundesliga, 14th round

Start 5 p.m .:

Austria – Salzburg

Generali Arena, SR Hot

Possible setups:

Austria: Pentz – Ivkic, Handl, Mühl, Schoissengeyr, Suttner – Teigl, Martel, Fischer – Huskovic, Djuricin

Salzburg: Köhn – Kristensen, Solet, Onguene, Ulmer – Seiwald, Camara, Aaronson, Capaldo – Okafor, Adeyemi

“Our plan was really good, we implemented it well. What we need, however, is a mix of efficiency and perhaps making one or more mistakes, ”says Schmid, who can fall back on Lukas Mühl again.

Koch replaces Jaissle

With Jaissle, the strong man on the sidelines is missing at Salzburg. As the master announced on Friday afternoon, the trainer tested positive for the corona virus as part of a routine check. The German is in quarantine with mild symptoms. Jaissle is represented in Vienna by Kotrainer Florens Koch.

Salzburg have been unbeaten in nine Bundesliga games against Austria (eight wins, one draw) and only lost one of the last 24 championship matches (17 wins, six draws). In the first 13 games of the current season, Salzburg – as in 2013, 2018 and 2019 – remained undefeated, which otherwise only Rapid (1982, 1985, 1987) and Tyrol (1989, 2001) had achieved. Across the seasons, the “Bulls” series currently has 19 games without defeat – it was last longer from May to December 2019 (22 games in a row at the time).

Respect for Austria

“Of course we were very disappointed right after the game in Wolfsburg. Anything else would be strange. But that’s not going to knock us down, I’m sure of that. We will now do everything we can to expand our streak in the league and get another three. The time between the two encounters should be enough for us to be physically and mentally ready for Austria Wien ”, Jaissle was quoted in a broadcast. “The Viennese have only lost three games in the league – and they were very close by only one goal difference. That already shows a certain consistency. “

Brenden Aaronson also expects a difficult game. “We already saw in the first encounter in Salzburg that it was difficult against them, where we only just won and were challenged until the last minute,” said the American. “For us it will be important on Saturday that we take the tension from the Champions League with us into the Bundesliga and go into the match with great concentration.” Maximilian Wöber (ankle) and Benjamin Sesko (thigh) are questionable at Salzburg.
