Relegation thriller in Tyrol - WSG meets Austria Klagenfurt!

On April 12, 2025, WSG Tirol will face Austria Klagenfurt in match day 25 of the ADMIRAL Bundesliga. With kick-off at 5:00 p.m., both teams face a crucial game in the relegation battle. The WSG Tirol is currently in eleventh place and with 10 points only has a slim lead of one point over the last GAK. The pressure is enormous because the team has only gotten one point in the last five league games and recently lost clearly 1:3 against TSV Hartberg.

Austria Klagenfurt, under coach Peter Pacult, is also under pressure. In the last game the team suffered a narrow defeat of 2:3 against SCR Altach. Klagenfurt currently has 13 points and is only four points ahead of bottom-placed GAK. This starting position already suggests that both teams urgently need points to gain breathing room in the fight to stay in the league.

The relegation battle

The relegation battle in the Bundesliga is characterized by tight points. While WSG Tirol is trying to take advantage of the lack of success, Austria Klagenfurt sent a sign of life with their victory over GAK (4:2) and achieved their first league win in almost four months. With this victory, Klagenfurt has created a small gap to the relegation places despite unstable performances. The WAC conceded a 3-3 draw in a heated game against WSG Tirol, which further illustrates the tense conditions in the league.

The situation is tense and the upcoming games are crucial. Klagenfurt has strengthened itself with the new defense chief Martin Hinteregger. His influence could be the deciding factor for a turnaround as the Tyroleans must try to improve their defensive stability to avoid slipping further in the relegation battle.

The league dimension

Six teams are fighting in the league to stay in the league. A look at the table shows that, in addition to WSG Tirol and Austria Klagenfurt, GAK and the penultimate Altach are also at the top. As the developments of the last few weeks show, an exciting finish to the league can be expected. The WSG Tirol has improved to tenth place after the most recent point haul, but the relegation spot that GAK occupies seems dangerously close.

The relegation candidates have to give everything in the next few weeks to keep their dream of staying in the league. In this context, today's encounter is extremely groundbreaking for both teams. The pressure couldn't be greater and the spectators can look forward to an exciting duel.
