LASK, the untouchable leader of the Upper Austrian league, welcomes Bundesliga side SPG Kleinmünchen/FC Blau-Weiss Linz today (2 p.m.) in the well-attended Raiffeisen Arena in Pasching.
“The anticipation for this match is great, everyone is highly motivated,” emphasized Nadine Wiener from the LASK women, who – coming from the outsider position – want to extend their successful run. In autumn they won all nine matches in the Upper Austria League and have an impressive goal difference of 78:3.
The blue and whites, who are preparing for a hot dance, know that too. “As is well known, the Cup writes its own rules. Even if our opponents have a very strong team, we want to live up to our supposed role as favourites,” emphasized captain Katharina Meßthaler.
Blue and white weakened
Recently things didn’t go quite as planned in the top national division. The seventh-placed side has been waiting for a win since September 18, and there have been two draws and four defeats in the last six rounds of the Bundesliga.
Incidentally, it is the first duel between black and white and blue and white since April 17, 2017. At that time, the men’s teams of the two local rivals drew 1:1 in front of 7,000 spectators on the Gugl. LASK season ticket holders and day ticket holders for the men’s championship matches against WAC and Sturm enjoy free entry today.
