Klagenfurt: Austria covers Christmas cookies for the Bundesliga fight

<p> <strong> Klagenfurt: Austria covers Christmas cookies for the Bundesliga fight </strong> </p>

On Thursday, the trainer team of Austria Klagenfurt, together with some players, launched a special campaign. At the invitation of the partner company K&K kitchens, they baked Christmas cookies that are now offered for sale in the "Stüberl" at Freddy-Hohenberger-Platz 1. However, this sweet job was only a short distraction, because the next game in the Admiral Bundesliga 2024/25 is already just around the corner. Next Sunday at 2:30 p.m., the Klagenfurter will have to compete against WSG Tirol in the Wörthersee Stadium, a direct neighbor in the table.

coach Peter Pacult shows himself combative and says: "We know what we have to bring to the WSG. We have developed this in training and I hope that we can also implement it." However, he warns of the strengths of the opponent, who is particularly dangerous in the pressing and switching game. After the last defeats against Rapid and the SK Sturm Graz, the team has a lot of pressure to deliver a good performance.

The starting point at a glance

The emotional highs and lows of the Waidmannsdorfer have been unmistakable in the past few weeks. After a victory in the Carinthian derby against the Wolfsberger AC, the joy was short, because two bitter defeats quickly followed-against Rapid 0: 2 and then the bitter 0: 7 defeat against SK Sturm Graz, which is considered one of the worst in club history.

midfielder Christopher Wernitznig makes it clear: "It is important that we bring the basics to the pitch. We weren't sharp enough in the last games." In order to be able to exist against the WSG Tyrol, the game together must be optimized again. "If we are top and combative, we have a good chance of a threesome," said his assessment.

The table makes the danning between the two teams all the more important: Klagenfurt currently takes ninth place with 15 points, while WSG Tyrol is just two points behind and one less game. This game could be crucial for whether Klagenfurt can increase the distance to Tirol or overtake the WSG, because in the first duel in Innsbruck, Klagenfurt prevailed with a narrow 1: 0.

special atmosphere in the stadium

A strong audience support is expected for the game on Sunday. Over 1000 athletes from Carinthia received invitations to the last Bundesliga home game of the year, which the team also sees as a thank you for voluntary work. The daily cash registers in the stadium open on Sunday at 9 a.m. to the north grandstand and at 12 p.m. for the west and south grandstand.
