Austria Vienna – Wacker Innsbruck
Austria Vienna will kick off the new season in Austrian Bundesliga with a clash against newly promoted Wacker Innsbruck. They will do so in the new Generali Arena, a stadium that seems to have everyone buzzing and a huge crowd is expected to come and support the team tonight.
Head coach Thomas Letsch says his team will not be satisfied with anything but three points and confirms that his team is well prepared for the occasion. Also the players seem to be full of confidence and new signing Uros Matic spoke with excitement about tonight’s game at the pre-game press conference.
Matic is not the only new face in the Austria team but the club has made several key signings during the summer and hope to challenge for one of the top spots this season.
Wacker Innsbruck finally took the step back to Bundesliga at the end of the season, after four years in the second division. They have made several signings during the summer in an effort to strengthen the squad, but there are question marks surrounding several of them. We are actually doubtful any of them are up to the standards and the visitors could be in for a difficult season.
Wacker started their campaign with a less than convincing cup win away to Regionalliga side Team Wiener Linien, and we believe they will struggle tonight.
