SV Ried seems to have reached the Bundesliga. After nearly two months without a point, the climber scored seven points in the three games since Nov. 7 and climbed to ninth in the table, just one point behind fifth.
On Sunday (from 5:00 p.m. on the LIVE ticker), the tenth day of the appearance as a guest at LASK, which despite the defeat in the Europa League by 3: 3 against Tottenham, gained confidence and wants to defend the second place.
Thalhammer: “The Upper Austrian Derby is a great challenge”
LASK is two points short for Leader Salzburg, two others behind them await Rapid, who is visiting Hartberg.
For Peter Michorl, who scored 1-0 against Tottenham, it is clear that you cannot afford to lose your performance internationally. “Derby is Derby. Ried has beaten WAC, they have beaten Rapid. They are very good opponents,” said the midfielder.
Coach Dominik Thalhammer, who praised the “phenomenal performance” Thursday night, also pointed to the importance of the game against Ried. “The league is very important and we performed well there in the last game,” he said in light of the recent 3-0 win over Altach.
There is no current direct comparison with the newcomer: “The OÖ derby is a great challenge, we are looking forward to the match.”
Like Michorl (“We’ll get all three points”), Thalhammer was totally convinced. “We have a rival who gave good results. But I think that the game against Tottenham and the development of the last weeks can give us confidence for the rest of the championship,” stressed Thalhammer, who is once again captain Gernot against EL Trauner is back.
Optimism at the Innviertel
However, optimism could also be heard in the Innviertel. “Against Rapid we show that we can beat the best teams,” said Ried Baumgartner’s coach, looking back at 4: 3 against Green-White on Nov. 22. The 1-1 draw at WAC a week later was a bit happy, but you had to play almost half the game with one man less.
Now the “Vikings” are aiming for something accounting against LASK. “They have a very intensive style of play, they are good at pushing and very dangerous by standards. We have to counter that and try to create opportunities ourselves when we have possession,” Baumgartner said.
“We have to consistently seize the opportunities we have. I am convinced that, firstly, we will show a good performance and, secondly, that we can take a point or two away.”
