From April 2nd, the Styrians will be “only” 3 points behind the series champions FC Red Bull Salzburgwho is aiming for the 10th championship title en suite, in the upper playoff and also remained undefeated in three duels with the Red Bulls this season (1 win each in the ADMIRAL Bundesliga and in the ÖFB Cup, plus 1 BL draw).
