For the Viennese, the departure from the football conference league is already sealed before today’s final game at Hapoel Be’er Sheva (9 p.m., ORF 1). In the south of Israel, at least the first group win should look out at the end.
Hapoel is also still waiting for the first three, but can still make it into the knockout phase. As Reinhold Ranftl remarked after the 2-1 win against Altach at the weekend, the team is “already on the gums”. Three days after Be’er Sheva, the away game at the in-form WSG Tirol, which is important for a top six place in the Bundesliga, awaits Austria on Sunday.
points for Austria
“We’re considering doing something in one or the other position. Even though I’ve talked to the boys a lot and everyone has signaled that they want to play,” said Austria coach Manfred Schmid. The UEFA prize money of 500,000 euros is just as much additional motivation as three points in the UEFA ranking, which, according to Schmid, Austria would like to get for Austria. “We don’t want to leave anything behind,” stressed the coach.
Incidentally, in the first leg in Vienna, the Violets drew goalless from Be’er Sheva.
