20th round of the Austrian Bundesliga. SV Ried welcomes Wiener Austria, with the sportkrone.at live ticker you are right there with them. It is currently 1:1.
Here’s the live ticker: Three rounds before the end of the regular season, Austria is in the coveted sixth place in the Bundesliga and doesn’t want to give it up. However, the rest of the program is not easy for the Viennese. SV Ried will face off in the Innviertel on Saturday (5:00 p.m.), and the bottom hopes for a coaching effect under neo-head coach Maximilian Senft. After that, Austria will have to face Sturm Graz away from home before the home derby against Rapid. New coach, new energy? In the spring, two home wins against Klagenfurt and Hartberg are offset by a defeat in Lustenau. The lead over Klagenfurt in seventh is two points. “Now we’re going to Ried and want to get three points there too,” said coach Michael Wimmer. He was warned: “There are no easy opponents in the league and perhaps the change of coach at Ried will release new energy.” But that doesn’t matter for their own team, says Wimmer. His new playground is to be further refined. One profiteer was Haris Tabakovic, the center forward scored four goals in three rounds. With a success in Ried, Austria also wants to present sports director Manuel Ortlechner. The ex-professional, who was born in Ried and became a footballer, celebrates his 43rd birthday on Saturday. There is a question mark again at Austria in terms of personnel. Reinhold Ranftl did not start training until Friday after an illness, and his participation in the starting XI is uncertain. Christian Früchtl, who had to leave the field at half-time against Hartberg with a suspected concussion, is back. The goalkeeper has been in training since Thursday. Positive for Austria: Dominik Fitz could train with the team again next week and thus be an option for the derby in two weeks’ time. “Aggressive and dynamic” In Ried Senft took over the post from Christian Heinle this week, who after the 0: 2 had to go in Salzburg. The 33-year-old Senft was previously on the line for Ried’s amateur team. Also on the supervisory staff is Gerhard Schweitzer, who is supposed to contribute his experience from the “observer role”. Senft wanted to work on his own “behaviour” in the three days leading up to the game against Austria. His team should “conquer balls aggressively and dynamically and play powerful counterattacks”. There is respect for the opponent. “But we focus very much on ourselves.” Senft knows Austria from his time as a video analyst under Thomas Letsch in the 2018/19 season. Only the currently injured Fitz is still there from the squad, goalkeeper Mirko Kos and Aleksandar Jukic were still with the second team. From Austria Senft went on to Barnsley via WAC (video analyst), until last summer he was the coach of SC Pinkafeld in the Burgenlandliga and in 2021/22 he was also head coach of FC Südburgenland in the women’s Bundesliga. always be prepared for opportunities, and when an opportunity arises, grab it. One or the other gave me a wrong look when I went from the second English to the fourth Austrian league, but I really wanted to be the head coach,” Senft outlined his path so far. This also led him to the 2014 Poker World Cup in Las Vegas, which he finished eleventh with prize money of $565,000. However, poker is now on hiatus. “I’m someone who always dedicates himself to a topic, and there’s not much room besides football.” Rieder also hope to feel the support of the fans again. The opponent should “feel the rough wind in Ried,” said Senft. The team is responsible for arousing emotions in the stadium.
