After the international break, FK Austria Vienna, the team led by head coach Gerald Scheiblehner, is waiting for them, the leaders in the qualifying group. Even though Austria emerged victorious in the last two meetings, the blue-whites in Vienna want to do everything they can to take something home with them. Confidence was definitely boosted with the 2-0 friendly win against Sturm Graz during the international break.
Video: Interview with Blau-Weiß-Linz coach Gerald Scheiblehner:
“We achieved our best results against the front teams. So we look back on the highlight games with a good feeling. Austria Vienna away is certainly another highlight game. It’s a little easier for us against teams that are stronger in terms of play and that’s why we’ll be there tomorrow too absolute belief in Vienna,” says head coach Gerald Scheiblehner.

Blue and White kicker Simon Pirkl is also full of self-confidence despite nine games without a win: “We are convinced of what we want to do on the pitch and have enough self-confidence that we go into the game with the belief that we can win the game . We were able to train very well during the international break and had a successful friendly against Sturm Graz, where we were able to regain our self-confidence.”
Haudum retour im Training
BW coach Scheiblehner can rely on almost the entire team in the duel with the Violets: Tobias Koch, who was recently suspended, returns to the squad, only the Brazilian Joao Luiz is missing due to injury.
There is a question mark behind Stefan Urlaub; the striker was unable to take part in today’s final training session. Positive: Stefan Haudum was back on the pitch today after his hairline fracture in his scaphoid and completed an individual program.
