Look ahead, that’s the motto of soccer runner-up Rapid after a completely failed match in Norway. After 0: 1 on FK Molde on Sunday (starting at 1.30 pm live and exclusively on Sky Sport Austria 2 – broadcast the game with Sky X) in the national league against Altach the chance to rehab. “The boys, of course, will try everything now after Thursday’s game where we got a three,” said coach Dietmar Kühbauer, referring to the greenish-whites’ positive record in the Bundesliga.
“Of course we play at home and have basically had a good season so far,” emphasized Kühbauer. With a win and a draw in five games, Rapid remains undefeated and is the first pursuer of the leader of the table Salzburg, who has two more points in the account. The Viennese want to continue on the heels of the favorites to the title. “Although Altach has gained a bit of self-confidence with the first win, it is already our goal to get a three,” said the coach.
With the Europa League game, which was the second loss in the competition, their professionals should no longer have to contend. “The game no longer exists. The game was yesterday, now we have a view of Altach. And the truth is, if a player thinks about it too much, he worries unnecessarily, ”said Kühbauer, who flew home with the Norwegian team on Friday afternoon after arriving on Tuesday. He is convinced that “the boys will play a good game again.”
Altach’s coach Alex Pastoor sprinkled his counterpart roses. “Rapid had a great performance in the spring and secured first place behind Salzburg. One can express high praise for this. Especially what Didi Kühbauer developed in Vienna deserves all the honors, ”said the Dutchman. “Since I’ve been here, we have played twice at Allianz Stadium. Both were great games and promotions for football. “

In the previous season, Hütteldorfer kept the slate clean against Rheindörfler, a 2-1 win at home was followed by a 3-0 away win in the second half of the season. This season Altach is struggling to score after the departure of Sidney Sam. In the previous fifth round, Pastoor’s protégés achieved their first victory with a 4-2 win against a decimated Admira. And for the first time Altach scored more than one goal in 90 minutes.
Pastoor is confident in the freshness of his squad against Rapid. Quick is “energetically not one hundred percent, we have to take advantage of that. If we can implement our match plan at all stages of the game, I’m sure we can take something away. “The fact that four previously injured people with Martin Kobras, Emanuel Schreiner, Marco Meilinger and Daniel Maderner were able to train thoroughly during the week and being available for Sunday gave the league coach eight additional courage.
