For Champions League defeats: Salzburg is looking for support in the Bundesliga

The situation at Red Bull Salzburg has changed significantly in the past few weeks. After a disappointing series of defeats in the UEFA Champions League, including the recent 0: 2 against Dinamo Zagreb, the team is under pressure. The difficulties in the premier class have greatly scratched self -confidence, so that the focus is now on an urgently needed victory in the Bundesliga. Next Sunday, 2.30 p.m., the team of coach Pepijn Lijnders will be guest at Wolfsberger AC and see an opportunity to fight back.

The team also has to fight with some challenges in the league. Nevertheless, the table shows that Salzburg and the leading Sturm Graz are on the same way, which at least gives hope. Despite the difficulties, full -back Amar Dedic emphasizes that "heavy phases are normal" and the next step should be taken as soon as possible: "We have to see that we come out of this negative spiral."

anticipation for the game

The balance between the WAC and Salzburg speaks clearly for the guests. In 46 games, the Wolfsberger could only win five times and suffered 29 defeats. The last victory against Salzburg has been over three years. Nevertheless, the WAC remains optimistic. Goalkeeper Nikolas upholstered: "As you saw this season, Salzburg can also be beaten. We definitely want to take something with us."

Trainer Dietmar Kühbauer has positive memories of previous encounters with Salzburg, especially during his first term from 2013 to 2015, in which he has a balanced balance. This good balance may give the WAC teams a small motivation boost to challenge the "bulls" in front of a home backdrop.

The Salzburg team must make sure to stabilize their defensive and create more offensive opportunities. In the recently played match against Dinamo Zagreb, it became clear that the game structure has not yet worked optimally. Coach Lijnders remains optimistic and emphasizes that he trusts the skills of his players. One thing is certain: the next games are crucial for the further course of the season.

The painful time for the "bulls" could be ended with this duel on Sunday, and the players are determined to initiate the necessary turnaround. While the team is doing their best on the square, fans can only be hoped for that they can overcome the difficulties and soon be able to build on old strength again. Whether this succeeds will be shown in the Lavanttal.

But the question remains: Can the bulls build up the pressure and find their way to victory, or can the Wolfsberger fulfill their wish for a surprise victory? The answer is on-air on Sunday.
