WAC vs. Austria: spirit of optimism after the derby defeat and top showdown

The upcoming encounter between the WAC and Vienna Austria promises tension and a meeting of two highly motivated teams.

Midfielder Dominik Fitz emphasizes that the team has found the necessary trust and that the players know exactly what they have to do. "It feels good," said Fitz. With 21 points, the team is only five points behind the leaders Sturm Graz.

Austria coach Stephan Helm has successfully stabilized his team after initial setbacks. The consistently good performance of his players are remarkable. According to WAC coach Dietmar Kühbauer, the team is characterized by high quality and "extreme routine", which comes into play especially among more experienced players such as Aleksandar Dragovic and goalkeeper Samuel Sahin-Radlinger. This experience can make the difference in crucial game situations.

Kühbauer warns against underestimating the encounter: Despite the strong form of Viennese, he sees the possibilities for the WAC because direct duels often have its own laws. "You may be better at the moment, but I think it will be a game of your own tomorrow," said Kühbauer.
