The WSG Tirol starts in the west duel of the Bundesliga quality group into the decisive week for the remaining class.
After the home appearance against SCR Altach on Saturday (from 5:00 p.m. in the LIVE ticker) there are still games in Mattersburg and with Admira on the schedule of the Tyroleans for the next seven days. Altach wants to end his draw series with a win in Innsbruck.
1: 1, 1: 1, 1: 1 – since the celebrated 2-0 at Austria, the Vorarlbergers have not written a threesome anymore. The gap to the Viennese increased to five points. With another five points ahead of the Mattersburgs placed third in the table, Altach is still aiming for the Europa League playoff in two weeks.
Pastoor finds explanation for draw series
Coach Alex Pastoor once again underlines the positive development of the past months before the game against the WSG. “The team has matured in character,” emphasizes the Dutchman. You also want to develop a “culture” where everyone wants to keep developing “.
When asked about the many draws in the qualification group – Altach even played five times in seven games – Pastoor had a simple explanation: “We knew from the start that no team would take the initiative against us. The many draws were too a consequence of that. “

WSG decision only on the last match day?
So far, WSG Tirol has registered a win in the qualification group. In the end, Admira came out on top of the rear. It’s the little successes that count. Thomas Silberberger exudes optimism. “I say we stay one hundred percent,” said the WSG coach after the 1-1 draw in St. Pölten.
Silberberger leads the experience from the pre-season master year. According to the conclusion, his team is used to pressure. At Wattens, players such as Stefan Maierhofer, Bruno Soares, who is blocked against Altach or Zlatko Dedic, also have players who have experience.
Dedic also demonstratively shows confidence before the game. “We have everything in our team that we need to achieve our goal: speed, size, experience, everything is there. We are the only opponents ourselves,” says the 35-year-old Slovenian.
It is important not to open any secondary construction sites and to keep a cool head. “It doesn’t help us if we lose focus and focus on what is going wrong. We have to put our full focus on our only goal – and that is to keep the class,” Dedic warns.
If you believe Silberberger’s prophecies, the fate of the Watteners will only be decided against Admira in the last round. If they won in Mattersburg, the south towners could pull this round past the Tyroleans again. WSG captain Ferdinand Oswald does not want to look east.
“The table changes every game day, everyone can beat everyone. We have to do our homework and I think we do well to focus only on ourselves,” said the goalkeeper.
