SV Ried wants to get back to winning ways in Lustenau
SV Guntamatic Ried faces an important game against Bundesliga relegated Austria Lustenau. After two defeats in a row during the previous matchdays, coach Maximilian Senft will try to get his team back on the right track. The duel takes place today at 6 p.m. Ried's captain, Andreas Leitner, expressed optimism and emphasized that it is possible to get out of the crisis. “The results were not great, but to speak of a crisis mode would be an exaggeration,” said Leitner.
The team travels to Vorarlberg to try for a fresh start. Interestingly, Ried meets a former player, Seifedin Chabbi, who recently returned to Lustenau. He spent three years in Ried before leaving the club. Chabbi says: "It's always nice to play against former clubs. Ried remains an important part of my career." Despite his previous involvement in Ried, he does not take the club's changes personally.
Ried as favorite for the title
Chabbi believes Ried is still the clear favorite for the title. “In terms of the squad, the finances and the environment, there is no discussion: Ried is and remains the favorite for the title,” he says. However, he warns that the second division is unpredictable. “In 2017 we also had big players and in the end we didn’t get promoted,” recalls Chabbi. This shows that in the league you first have to play the games before you can make claims.
Ried will have to do without some key players in the current game. In addition to the long-term injured Saliou Sane, Nikki Havenaar and Martin Rasner are also out due to suspensions. But there are also new faces: South African newcomer Antonio Van Wyk could make his debut after training with the team for two weeks.
Austria Lustenau has had a strong season so far and has played all games unbeaten, with three wins and six draws. Chabbi points to the team's potential, but warns that the performances cannot be consistently translated onto the pitch. Ried is struggling with its own challenges and will do everything it can to survive against Lustenau.
If the Innviertel team can utilize their potential, this could be an exciting game. The competition is strong and the Rieders have to show how seriously they can take their role as championship contenders. More details on this topic can be found in a detailed report on www.nachrichten.at.
