Autumn balance of the Regionalliga West: Imst and Austria Salzburg deliver title fight

in the Regionalliga West, the exciting location at the end of the first half of 2024 developed dramatically. The two teams, Imst and Austria Salzburg, are at the top of the table and each hold for forty points. But FC Reichenau has surprisingly reported and is only three points behind the two title contenders. This exciting constellation causes plenty of excitement and lets the audience look forward to the next games.

Imst has established itself as an undefeated league leader this season, but her momentum was braked somewhat in the last games. The team could not win the last two games before the winter break. On the other hand, the Salzburgers caught a little caught in the last encounters with two wins and only one defeat. This head-to-head race promises an exciting competition for the championship title.

Reichenau closes

The appearance of FC Reichenau is particularly noteworthy, which after a weaker phase in the first half of the season - including a home defeat against Dornbirn - made an impressive comeback. With six consecutive victories, the team reduced its gap to the top duo to just three points. This return shows that everything is possible in this league and the table can change at any time.

The situation in the relegation battle is also tense. The three teams at the end of the table - Röthis, Kitzbühel and Lauterach - are under short pressure. They separate only one point, but the distance to the saving place is worrying for everyone involved. Especially the deficit of six points to 13th place makes the situation for the relegation candidates precarious.

surprises in midfield

The Regionalliga West once again proves that it is full of surprises. Teams like Bischofshofen, after a weak start, were able to improve quickly and made the leap to sixth place with three wins in a row. In contrast, there are teams such as Kuchl who lost only a few games, but cannot play up above by numerous draws.

In addition, it shows that the competition is closely related in midfield. Hohenems and Dornbirn show similar services, while old acquaintances such as Wals-Grünau and Kufstein try to break away from the relegation zone. With a mixture of climbs and experienced teams, the league remains exciting and challenging.

The upcoming games of the Regionalliga West will show which teams can consolidate themselves and whoever will move into the relegation swamp. The first round round games promise a lot of action and could significantly influence the direction for the next few months. Fans and players can hope for a gripping football year.
