FC Blau-Weiß Linz hosts RZ Pellets WAC in matchday 25 of the ADMIRAL Bundesliga. The game kicks off at 7:30pm at Hoffman Personal Stadium.
After winning a point in Vienna, the next competitor from the top half of the table, Wolfsberger AC, is already waiting. The memories of the last regular season meeting at home are very good. The Whites celebrated a 2-0 home win thanks to goals from Manuel Maranda and Paul Mensah. The Blue and Whites and Carinthians secured two points each from the first two rounds in the qualifying groups. With 17 points, the Wolves are one point behind league leaders FK Austria Vienna and six behind FC Blau-Weiss Linz.
“The WAC is definitely a team that entered the tournament aiming to be in the top six, like Austria. For me they are two very similar teams. They have tremendous attacking quality, at Wydad Casablanca with players like Zimmermann and Spitzer, who also come on the bench from time to time. That definitely speaks for them. Overall a very strong team but we also saw that we could beat them. “To do that, we have to be well organized defensively because they have really good quality in attack,” said head coach Gerald Scheplener.
“We have to plan to score when we have the chance. But I also think it is very important not to score any goals like we did in the last three games, and to play well and score like we did in the friendly match against Sturm Graz. That's exactly what we will do,” says Manuel Maranda. “.
With the exception of Andreas Lux and Fabian Windhager (both with muscle problems) and Joao Luiz Soares Alves (ruptured Achilles tendon), coach Gerald Schepelhner will be available on Saturday.
