Rapid and Austria Face Tough Test in Linz Doubleheader

Vienna and Linz are 155 kilometers apart. It happens on Sunday dual city duel. Blue-White travel to the Green-Whites in Hütteldorf for the evening game (2.30pm), the Violets play in the top game at LASK from 5pm.

The aim of the two Linzers is to reduce the gap to the Viennese.

That has been granted by LASK’s demands, even after the bitter European Cup trip to Bosnia. And with blue and white is the memory of the… 3-0 win against Rapidler confidence grows, which has certainly diminished for the home team after two disappointing draws (WSG and Shamrock).

Rapid and Austria are currently in the top three with 27 points each; for LASK (20) and BW (17), the brand for the top six is ​​particularly interesting.

Birthday for Klauss of charge

“The game will decide whether our long streak of unbeaten games has been seen positively or if too many points have been lost in the foreground,” says Fast coach Robert Klauß before a special day for him. “I would prefer that no one even notices my birthday,” said the German he doesn’t want to celebrate his 40th – except by three points from Rapid.

To achieve this, we need to have more drive towards the goal, more efficiency and, in the last home league game of the year, more will to win than before. “It’s about finding the right players to bring the necessary energy into the playing field“, says Klauss, disturbing the question of distribution.

difference player Isak Jansson could be the Joker to return

What is certain is that the home side looked rather old against the attacking pressure in the 3-0 defeat in Linz – their only league defeat so far. Klauss: “That was our worst performance. We have something to make up.”

Lina’s exchange rate goes up against tala

The first duel between Austria and LASK was closer. The team of Stephen Helm scored late for a 2-1 win. The purple’s current winning streak of six league games hides the fact that LASK is also on the fast track: only one of eight games has been lost.

The return of the kings

Anyway, the first goal doesn’t have to decide: Austria won after 0:1 still ten points, LASK with the highest score in the league even eleven – all under Markus Schoppwhich took over a week after the first meeting.

The Viennese will have more rest, but will have to do without a vital player: Dominic Fitz he has the most hits and is also the league’s assist king – he missing locked today.
