Will Salzburg take the championship crown today? The Bulls’ game against Austria Vienna is on, we report live (see ticker below). It’s currently 4-0.
Here’s the live ticker: Here’s current pictures from the game: The game in Wals-Siezenheim is sold out due to the expected title celebration, with the exception of the guest sector, so there’s a good atmosphere. Statistically, nothing can go wrong either, in 33 home games against Austria there have only been three defeats since 2005/06. The title is fixed if Sturm don’t score more points than Salzburg on Sunday. As always, Jaissle warned his squad to concentrate fully. “You could see in the last game that it won’t be a sure-fire success,” he said, looking back on the 2-1 win last Sunday in Vienna, which was fixed relatively late thanks to Joker Luka Sucic (78th). “Austria should not be underestimated. Hats off, they do it very well with their resources,” said the German coach, but not without referring to his own strengths: “We have the quality to defeat them.” Getting dry would be a very important success even in a season like this, emphasized Jaissle, who has all the kickers at his disposal with the exception of the injured or ailing Sekou Koita, Bryan Okoh, Albert Vallci and Daouda Guindo. “The value is extremely high, it’s always underestimated,” said the 34-year-old, whose team had set an Austrian highlight with the Champions League round of 16. “It’s the most honest title, even with the points halved. The motivation and appreciation of the title is extremely high.” For Austria coach Manfred Schmid, one thing is clear before the difficult journey to Wals-Siezenheim: “Salzburg is rightly close to the title,” said the Viennese, but didn’t want ” stand guard for the championship celebration.” The most recent 1:2 was the second defeat in a row after the strong violet spring, against the “bulls” they didn’t score a point in three attempts this year. “The disappointment was huge because we were unlucky to lose. We would have earned a lot more in the three games against Salzburg, we have to make sure that we finally reward ourselves in Salzburg on Sunday: now more than ever will be traveling at the WAC is still big. “The mood in the team is very good, they felt that we were very close to taking something against Salzburg,” said Schmid, who is still missing Georg Teigl and Muharem Huskovic. The 19-year-old storm talent, who only had three appearances in the spring, is still suffering from muscular problems. Incidentally, Christian-Petru Ciochirca, the man who caused a lot of purple frustration as the main referee last Sunday, will act as VAR man. “He apologized for it in the dressing room, but that doesn’t do us much good,” Schmid reported after the game. After a crossbar header from Nicolas Capaldo, Ciochirca mistakenly decided on a corner kick, which gave Salzburg a 1-0 lead Immediately before, video assistant Rene Eisner had revised a penalty whistle for Salzburg after a foul right on the edge of the penalty area – much to Ciochirca’s displeasure.Now the 32-year-old has the opportunity to do better in front of the screens.
