LASK against GAK: Departure after a bitter cup out and the urge on points!

Linz, Österreich - On Saturday at 5 p.m. the LASK will meet the GAK 1902 in the ADMIRAL Bundesliga. After the bitter defeat in the ÖFB Cup semi-final against RZ Pellets WAC, where the LASK left after penalty shooting, the team is under pressure to start success in the league. The declared goal of the LASK is to reduce the frustration through the missed cup final and to get the three points against the relegation-threatened Grazer in order to claim the comfortable leadership in the qualification group, such as OE24 reported.

Trainer Markus Schopp describes the past few days as particularly challenging and emphasizes the need to look ahead. An internal competition is intended to spur the players, while patience, determination, discipline and mindfulness are particularly required in the game against the GAK. The LASK has achieved four victories in the last five league games and is therefore on the right track towards Play-Off, as also Philipp Ziereis, the captain. However, LASK has to do without some injured players: Moses Usor, Lukas Jungwirth and the closed George Bello are not available, adds Ligaportal .
