Austria's footballer under pressure: victory against Serbia necessary for promotion!
Austria's national soccer team is facing a decisive second leg in the Nations League play-offs against Serbia. After a disappointing 1-1 in the first leg last Sunday, the ÖFB kickers are challenged: A victory in Belgrade is necessary to reach the promotion to league A. The game starts at 6 p.m. CET and is transferred live to Servus TV, with preliminary spaces from 5 p.m. href = "https://www.laola1.at/de/Red/fussball/oefb-nationalteam/a-team/news/hier-siehdu-das-playoff-das-des-oefb- opposite-serbien-im-tv/"> laola1.at
In the first leg, the Austrians dominated the game, but could not take advantage of their chances. The leadership goal by Michael Gregoritsch in the 37th minute was equalized in the second half by a wonderful equalization by Lazar Samardžić. Austria performed strongly, but the strong Serbian defenders prevented a clear victory. Team boss Ralf Rangnick was disappointed with the draw: "We had the game under control for 94 minutes. Unfortunately, the result does not reflect this," like Puls24.at emphasized.

In the second leg, the Austrian team will meet up to four returnees of the Serbian regular players, while even the ÖFB team has to do without key players, including Marcel Sabitzer and Konrad Laimer, who was closed in the first leg. However, David Alaba gave his comeback in the starting eleven and was celebrated frenetically by fans. The Austrians now have to increase their efficiency in order to achieve the desired result in Belgrade and finally triumph in the National League.| Details | |
