Live broadcast now: RB Salzburg vs TSV Hartberg in the tape – Football

Football champions Red Bull Salzburg will go into rehearsal on Saturday to show their best of the year. Against FC Sevilla, Salzburg need a point in the empty stadium in Wallis-Sissenheim to reach the Champions League last 16 for the first time in the club’s history.

It is precisely at this point that Mozartstadt residents have significant personnel problems. Six professionals are absent due to injuries, and Hartberg Mohamed Kamara has also been suspended. There is a question mark behind Noah Okafor’s action due to a thigh injury. Coach Matthias Gisele was still calm. “Of course the coach always wants to pull off the full squad, but complaining doesn’t help. That’s not our situation, we’re dealing with it as best we can.”

You are strong enough to handle many failures. “We knew at the start of the season that we had a very good squad in terms of quality and capacity,” Gisley said. “This way we can make up for the long injury list.”

However, recent findings speak against this thesis. After an impressive start to the season, the Bulls have seen just one win out of their last six games, most recently their first defeat in the championship this season with a 2-1 defeat to Austria Klagenfurt. So Andreas Olmer warned: “We have to call the fundamentals right, which were not there 100 per cent in the last few games. We have to put that on the field.”

The first confrontation with TSV ended with a difficult 1-0 win away to Salzburg. “Hartberg is a very unpleasant opponent, we know from the first leg. They caused us problems, it was a close match. We’ll have to call everything up,” Gisley said, noting that this season Hartburgers already had “big teams” like Sturm Graz and WAC defeated.

Additionally, Hartberger led three throws against Rapid and the most recent against Lask. Now coach Kurt Ross also wants to put Salzburg on the TSV roster. In this context, the upcoming Sevilla match could be an advantage. “This will definitely be on the players’ minds,” Ross said. “You’ve been a player long enough and you can’t ignore something like that.”

However, Salzburg is clearly preferred. “The fact that everyone writes that they are in trouble, they are going to deal with it intensely. I think they are more dangerous now than they were before,” suspects Styrian, who kept his fingers crossed for the defending champion on Wednesday. “I hope they stay in the Champions League, it will be good for all Austrian football.”

Ross will not object to Saturday’s defeat of Salzburg – a first against Hartberg in Bundesliga history. “There is no doubt that you will become a master. You are above all others.” After 16 rounds, the “Bulls” are each twelve points ahead of Sturm and WAC in the table. Hartberg is sixth, 19 points behind Salzburg. “For me, only Salzburg, Storm and Dudak, are in the championship group,” Ross said. “The rest are fighting for the other three places, anything is possible.”
