The fact that the Bundesliga hit Red Bull Salzburg next Sunday (5pm) in Wals-Siezenheim will already have an impact on Thursday’s game was something that nobody wanted to confirm with the leaders of the national league. Salzburg “does not play any role”, assured manager Dominik Thalhammer before leaving for Bulgaria.
“We want to play with the best team, a good performance gives us strength for the next game,” he emphasized. In addition to the injured and suspended Peter Michorl, there is no Gernot Trauner. The head of the Abwehr stayed home because his wife is awaiting the birth of the third child.
“We enter each game with 100 percent”
LASK doesn’t want to take it easy in Razgrad. “We just want to say goodbye to Europe as we deserve it,” Thalhammer said. LASK went through the qualifying mills to advance to the group stage, the coach recalled. It is a duty to play well in the Europa League.
Europa League, Group J
Thursday, 9 pm:
Rasgrad – LASK
Ludogorez Arena, SR Meschkow (RUS)
Possible configurations:
Rasgrad: Stojanow – Cicinho, Terzijew, Verdon, Nedjalkow – Anicet, Santana – Despodow, Souza, Tchibota – Keserü
LASK: Schlager – Wiesinger, Ramsebner, Andrade – Reiter, Holland, Madsen, Potzmann – Gruber, Eggestein, Goiginger
“Because we have done a lot to play there. Now we are going to put an end to it ”. Winger Marvin Potzmann also said: “We want to win every game, we have our own expectations. We go into every game 100 percent. “
Home bankruptcy against Royal as the sticking point
The fact that there is no real end to the ascent remains a disappointment. The loss at home to Royal Antwerp was ultimately decisive in keeping the round of 32 out of reach. The Belgians and Tottenham are already further away.
The Linzers now want to at least be home to the final matches in Salzburg, in the round of 16 of the ÖFB Cup at home against Vienna city league club Elektra (December 16, 6pm, live on ORF Sport +) and then at home in Austria. 20.12.) Make the most of it.
LASK is in full swing
LASK will play the 20th competitive game of the season against Ludogorez. The question of force does not arise in the Upper Austrian countryside. “We have developed an incredibly good physical condition for the matches. We are able to play this rhythm at a high level, ”Thalhammer explained. The squad is thin in attack.
Mamoudou Karamoko recently joined the wounded camp. In all likelihood, Johannes Eggestein will return as a center forward. Hussein Balic was also on the plane. The winger, due to whose ankle injury was recently discussed with the ÖFB, could be used as a substitute.
Rasgrad awaits the first point
The first group duel with Ludogorez ended 4: 3 in Linz at the end of October. The nine-time Bulgarian champions also did not score a point in the episode. In the previous five games, Stanislaw Gentschew’s team with former professional storms player Kiril Despodow and former Altacher Bernard Tekpetey scored just six goals and conceded 16. In Bulgaria, Ludogorez is the measure of all things. After 13 games, the defending champion has ten wins and only one loss in the league.
