The WSG Tirol looks up before the meeting with Admira. Before the game on Saturday (5:00 p.m.), the Tyroleans had already confirmed that they would remain in the upper house. With a home win, Admira would be back in the middle of the race for the European Cup play-off.
With a success in the third to last round of the championship, the Watteners, who are ahead in the qualifying group, are now about to jump into the European Cup play-off for an international starting place. Wattens is unbeaten in eight games against Admira. It was five draws and three defeats for the Lower Austrians. WSG trainer Thomas Silberberger said about the opponent: “Admira knows that if she loses against us and Altach wins at the same time, she will be on fire.” .
Herzog: “I expect a courageous demeanor”
Andreas Herzog does not want to deal with such scenarios. The Admira coach also saw the opponent as a role model. “The Tyroleans have been very successful recently and have been able to get out of the tricky situation very well,” said Herzog. He and his team don’t want to change anything in the approach at the end of the season. With a home win – recently only one in nine attempts – Admira would be right back in the middle of the race for the European Cup play-off.
“We have to show that we want to win more. That’s why I expect a high level of aggressiveness and courage from my team right from the start,” said Herzog. The ex-international lacks support. Roman Kerschbaum (ankle) is out until the end of the season, while Sebastian Bauer and Marlon Mustapha are suspended. In addition, Joseph Ganda is not yet fully fit after his concussion.
