Both teams have gained important experiences in the past, and Sturm is optimistic about keeping his three-point lead over Viennese Austria, such as OE24.at reported. Interim coach Jürgen Saumel strives to set the course for a possible long -term job by winning the Tyroleans. Before the game, however, he warned his team of the strength of the opponent who goes into the game with confidence.

The WSG Tirol had success in the last games, including a 3-0 victory against Klagenfurt, which makes it to be serious. Saumel, who wants to prove himself as an interim trainer, unfortunately has to do without the blocked Emanuel Aiwu, but last week benefited from intensive training where the team was finally able to work without being distracted by international matches or the Champions League. The players are now well prepared for this challenging match, as the defensive midfielder Jon Gorenc Stankovic emphasizes, who remembers the exciting first season comparison (4-2 victory) and is prepared for a tight duel.
