Who will achieve their first victory today in the Upper Austria derby of the regional football league? Both SPG Wels and Vöcklamarkt are still without a point after the first two games in 2024.
You wouldn’t have expected this, especially from the team from the trade fair city: Vöcklamarkt sports director Omer Tarabic is hoping that the promotion candidates are a little out of sorts after the two spring defeats and the resulting big gap to the top: “Maybe that’s playing us a little in the cards. We are still the blatant outsiders. The pressure is clearly on Wels, they had a completely different objective than us before the start of the season.”
Important for the Hausruckviertler: With Simon Würtinger, Lucas Purkrabek and Daniel Pointner, some of the recently missing kickers are returning.
Does Weißkirchen’s series hold?
Weißkirchen is defending its strong home series in the Upper Austrian league: The Zebras have been undefeated in 44 league home games, and today coach Alfred Olzinger’s team is taking on Bad Leonfelden.
