WAC in front of Hartberg: On the hunt for the championship group place!

A heated duel is coming up in the ADMIRAL Bundesliga: The WAC will face the home team in Hartberg on Saturday at 5:00 p.m. Coach Didi Kühbauer has had a strong run this season - the team has been unbeaten in six games, most recently drawing 3-3 against WSG Tirol. Nevertheless, Kühbauer admits that the performance was not without flaws. “We have stopped playing,” he emphasizes, which makes it clear that the team needs to become more active again to ensure success. Despite the current form, the WAC could remain in sixth place even if they lose in Hartberg, as the lead over the seventh-placed team is a respectable nine points laola1.at reported.

However, Hartberg, currently in eighth place, has his own ambitions. With only two points behind the championship group, the team sees itself in a promising position. Coach Manfred Schmid and player Raphael Hofer are optimistic that they can take three important points from this game, especially after a disappointing 0-0 draw against bottom team Altach. “If we follow the game in Altach with fighting spirit and the Klagenfurt game with play, then we don’t need to worry,” says Schmid, indicating that a strong team performance is necessary to defeat the WAC steiermark.ORF.at reported.

The encounter promises excitement, because despite the success so far, the WAC wants to leave behind the negative memories of an earlier meeting with Hartberg, which was lost. Kühbauer warns: “It was never easy in Hartberg.” The Hartbergers are swelling with the self-confidence that they are ready to give everything to defeat their big opponent. This confrontation will certainly not only be important for the direct position in the table, but could also set the tone for the upcoming games.
