Secure Europacup participation on Sunday against LASK

Austria Wien made a big step towards the Europa League with their 2-0 home win against WAC. Even the direct qualification for the group stage is possible. The ‘Violets’ are going into the final against LASK (Sunday, 5pm, TGW Arena) with great confidence: “We have worked to be in this situation and the team is really eager to secure their spot this Sunday,” emphasizes Ibertsberger.

Austria Wien is just one point behind the third place after their win in a direct duel with WAC, giving them a realistic chance of directly qualify for the UEFA Europa League group stage one round before the end of the season.

Two scenarios for Austria Wien to end the season on third place:

1. Austria Wien wins against LASK. At the same time, the game WAC-Sturm ends with either a tie or a victory for Sturm.
2. Austria Wien ties the game against LASK. At the same time Sturm defeats WAC.

“I’m confident we will win”

After three wins in the last four games, Austria Wien is going into the final round of the Bundesliga with great confidence: “I'm confident that we will win against LASK - we could have won our last home game as well. I am convinced that a lot is possible. We've been playing very well over the last five or six rounds, but we've rarely rewarded ourselves yet,” said head coach Robert Ibertsberger, who analysed the 2-0 win over WAC as follows:

"The 1-0 unleashed additional power"

"During the first half we did not use the space we had well enough and were in some cases poorly positioned. Before the break, it was a puzzle with few chances to score. The 1-0 was a liberation – it unleashed additional power. After the 2-0 I was pretty sure that we were going to win the game. We defended very well even outnumbered. I have to pay the team a huge compliment on how much they have fought for this victory. “
