"We want to take the next step"
With the first home win, the 4:1 against Ried, in their luggage, the Violets travel to Tyrol this weekend, where we play against WSG on Sunday at 2:30 p.m.: "We now want to take the next step and celebrate the second win in a row. But we know how difficult that will be," emphasizes coach Manfred Schmid.

"We worked hard for the win against Ried. You can see that the team is becoming more confident. Some youngsters have moved closer, which is very good for the development of the team," says Manfred Schmid.
"Often a single training session decides whether a player is in the squad or plays from the start. " - Manfred Schmid
The tougher competition can also be seen in training: "We are now entering a phase in which we as a coaching team have to make many difficult and tight decisions. Often, a single training session decides whether a player is in the squad or plays from the start. I definitely prefer it that way than the other way around," explains the Austria Wien coach.
Tirol has only lost at home to Salzburg
WSG Tirol picked up seven points in their last four games and handed the red lantern to LASK with a 1-0 win at Admira last week. On Thursday, the team of coach Thomas Silberberger had to admit defeat to the Linzers in the Cup round of 16 with 1:2. Manfred Schmid was himself live on site to watch the opponent:
"Tirol is in good shape. They have picked up seven points in their last four Bundesliga games and have only lost one game at home - and that was against Salzburg. That's why I don't think they'll make any major changes to their style of play against us either," said Manfred Schmid.
