The fight for the championship title and thus for promotion to the Bundesliga is now going into the very hot phase. Five rounds are still to be played. Admira Wacker’s lead over the SV Ried shrank to just one counter on the Easter weekend. The Rieder had to be satisfied with a 1-1 at home against Austria Lustenau. The Admira could not take advantage of the slip of the Rieder. On the contrary: The Lower Austrians in turn had to give up 2: 1 in Amstetten after a 2-1 lead.
On Sunday (10.30 a.m.), April 27, SV Ried is guest in Kapfenberg. The Admira could present on Friday, April 25, with a home win against the second team from Sturm Graz. A very difficult task is waiting for the Rieder in Kapfenberg. The Styrians won four of their last five games and are fourth in the table with 42 points. “I have a good feeling that we will also have the fans on our side on Sunday. For us, every away game feels like a home game,” says SV-Ried trainer Maximilian Senft, but some players will not be available. In addition to the long -term injured Saliou Sane, who was operated on this week, Ante Bajic and Mark Grosse are closed due to their fifth yellow card. Nikki Havenaar struggles with a muscle strain, he is questionable for the game on Sunday.
Three players go into the game against Kapfenberg with an unpleasant preload. Michael Sollbauer and captain and goalkeeper Andreas Leitner have received four yellow tickets so far in the season. With another Sunday, this would result in a lock for the game against the Admira. The somewhat inglorious league leader in yellow cards, Martin Rasner, should also pull together against Kapfenberg. Should the defensive midfielder see the yellow cardboard for the 13th time, he would also have to watch against the Admira from the stands.
Big ticket demand
While the focus of the team as well as the team of coaches and supervisors is only aimed at the game against Kapfenberg, the Rieder is already preparing for the top game on Friday, May 2, against the Admira. With a tie in Kapfenberg, regardless of the outcome of the Admira game, Ried could take over the lead with a win. More top game four rounds before the end does not work, accordingly the ticket demand is. “A little more than 4,300 tickets are already gone. I believe that the vast majority of seats will be sold out quickly. There are enough places behind the goal and on the edge,” said Tim Entenfellner, marketing manager at SV Ried on Thursday afternoon at the request of the OÖNachrichten. “We hope for an almost sold -out stadium. There are still enough standing maps and will probably also be available at the evening cash register on the match day. In the guest sector, which has a capacity for 500 fans, we expect 200 to 300 spectators,” says Entenfellner. The very precise overall capacity of the Innviertel Arena is given by the association with 7336 spectators.
After the canteens were sometimes waiting for longer waiting times during the north grandstand, the gastronomy, according to Duckenfellner, worked smoothly against Lustenau. “Of course we will have all canteens open in the top game against the Admira. We are prepared and look forward to this top game,” says Entenfellner.
