League leaders SPG Union Kleinmünchen/FC Blau-Weiss Linz can fix promotion to the top division with a win against the Sport-Club from 5 p.m. in Vienna-Hernals due to the direct duels on their own. The pursuers Dornbirn Ladies (against Geretsberg) and Wildcats Krottendorf (against Neusiedl am See) need support.
“We are ready for this last step. It would be nice if many fans would accompany us,” said Emilia Holzinger (18), who has 17 goals this season.
Should the youngest team in the league bring the mission to a successful conclusion, a Linz club – in this case a syndicate – would be top notch for the first time since 2019. Union Kleinmünchen has a lot of tradition as an eight-time Austrian champion and six-time cup winner.
The LASK is a big favorite
The final of the Upper Austria Ladies Cup will also take place today at 5 p.m. in St. Oswald near Freistadt. Anything but a clear LASK victory over Union Nebelberg, which has lost the previous three duels in the Upper Austrian league 1:7, 0:11 and 1:15, would be a surprise.
Nevertheless, LASK midfielder Julia Dürnberger (23) is cautious. “We mustn’t go into the game with the attitude that we’re going to win anyway. We conceded the only goals this season against Nebelberg.” Sandra Wöss, top scorer in the Ladies Cup with nine goals, was responsible for this. The event in the Mühlviertel starts at 4 p.m. – with free beer while stocks last. (Alex)
