Dramatic duel: GAK calls for Klagenfurt - the focus!

On Saturday, February 22, 2025, the GAK will meet SK Austria Klagenfurt as part of the 19th round of the Austrian Bundesliga. The promoted GAK, who collected four points in his first two games of the year, would like to continue his successful start. Klagenfurt, under the direction of coach Peter Pacult, has been unbeaten since the beginning of the year and expects the match with great anticipation. Pacult describes the game as "50:50", emphasizing that the daily form will be decisive. After an unsatisfactory 1-1 draw against Hartberg, he demands significantly better performance from his team.

GAK coach Rene Poms is looking forward to the challenge and shows great respect for Klagenfurt. "You have been at a high level for years, despite constant personnel changes," explains Poms, who is also a big fan of Pacult. "He has to build a new team every year, and he does that impressively well." With 14 points from eight games, Poms has stabilized the team and he is convinced that the unity of his team can lead them to success.

A comeback with effect

An important factor for Klagenfurt is Martin Hinteregger, who convinced after his comeback in the first two league games. Poms emphasizes the central role of the ex-ÖFB team player: "You don't get mentality and his experience is a huge added value for us." Hinteregger has already shown that he is still a top Bundesliga player and will be crucial for the future of the team. On Saturday it will be exciting to see whether the GAK can break the series of the unbeaten Klagenfurtter or whether the Carinthians will continue their run.
