LASK: After the coaching - success series should continue against Klagenfurt!

The Bundesliga picks up speed again after the Easter holidays. On Tuesday, three exciting games are on the program in the qualification group. The LASK, who plays under interim coach Maximilian Ritscher, goes against Austria Klagenfurt. This encounter is overshadowed by the recent discharge of trainer Markus Schopp, who unexpectedly lost his post both as a trainer and sports director of the LASK. The official reason for this decision was the inadequate "performance -related development" of the team.

Although the LASK is currently leading the lower half of the table with a comfortable lead of ten points, the sporting development was not based on expectations. The association is already planning to participate in the European Cup play-off, but this will have to be done without a Schopp. Under the new interim coach Ritscher, the team recently celebrated a convincing 2-0 home win against WSG Tirol, which marked the fourth win without conceding a result.

demands for a successful series

Christoph Lang, an offensive player of the LASK, is optimistic and announces that the team wants to win the fifth game in a row. The pressure on Ritscher, who previously worked as an assistant coach, is high, and his first task could be decisive for the further season of the LASK.

opposite the LASK stands Austria Klagenfurt, which is only two points in front of the bottom of the table after a disappointing 0-0 against GAK. Klagenfurt urgently needs positive results in order not to go under in the relegation battle. For guests from Klagenfurt, the game will be an important opportunity to improve their situation and to gain stability.

The relegation battle is more intensive

There is also a lot to report in the lower table region. GAK has only four points behind the second -placed Hartberger, who are also recently required despite a strong performance. Trainer Manfred Schmid von Hartberg emphasizes the need to improve efficiency in front of the goal in order to continue to leave the table region. In addition, WSG Tirol and SCR Altach duel in the relegation battle, the latter with only twelve points are currently the bottom of the table and has one point behind GAK and WSG Tyrol.

Altach coach Fabio Ingolitsch demands a significant increase in performance in the upcoming game to avert the impending descent and to maintain hopes for relegation. The second leg against WSG Tirol could possibly be groundbreaking.

The situation in the Bundesliga remains exciting, and the upcoming games will show whether the teams in the qualification group can achieve their goals or whether the relegation battle threatens to tighten themselves for some teams.
