At the Lavanttal-Arena there will be a final soccer Bundesliga match on Sunday. In the event of a win over WSG Tirol, fifth-ranked host WAC would continue to play in the group of champions. Wattens’ seventh at the table needs a win to maintain a realistic chance of doing so.
WAC coach Roman Stary made a very successful debut last week with a 4-0 win at Ried and is now expecting an equally strong performance from his team. “I was very happy with the victory because it made me happy for the team. There was a sense of security again, ”the 47-year-old said.
Ferdinand Feldhofer’s successor has had many conversations with the pros since he took office and returned to the midfield diamond; these measures had an effect, as the performance at the Innviertel has shown. “There’s a certain lightness there again,” Stary explained.
WAC coach takes pressure off his team
The Viennese don’t want to disrupt the current wellness mood by putting too much pressure on their kickers. “It is important for me to convey to them that we have it in our own hands and that we can avoid a final against Austria (note: WAC’s last opponent in the basic season in a week).” He did not want to talk about a playoff because “For that reason, perhaps the facility is no longer there.”
For Stary, the WSG “continues to be the surprise of the season. They were beaten below value in the last games and had a lot of bad luck, ”said the WAC supervisor about the Tyrolese. “In the game against us they will give everything to take advantage of their great opportunity in the championship group.”
Liendl, WAC strategist in focus of WSG
In line with this, WSG coach Thomas Silberberger announced the top speed. “’Do or die’ is the motto. A draw doesn’t really help us. We have to win at Lavanttal to have another chance in the championship group. So the last lap will be the end of the heartbeat, ”said the Tyrolean.
Silberberger has special respect for WAC Director Michael Liendl. “It is important to keep him under observation, block his passage routes and restrict his walking routes. That is half the battle. For me, Liendl has not only been Austria’s best midfielder since the Feldhofer case. “
The current balance speaks for the Tyrolese
Wattener have brought in two wins and a draw in the previous three league games with WAC. In the table they are four points behind the Wolfsbergers, two behind the sixth Hartberg and one point ahead of Austria, eighth. Next week, the Tyrolese can look forward to a home game against Rapid.
