Austria Lustenau loses 0:3 in Wolfsberg, Rapid defeats Altach

Parallel fixture: Rapid beats Altach

Parallel to Lustenau's defeat, Rapid Vienna were also in action on Saturday. The Viennese side prevailed against SCR Altach and picked up important points in the battle of the table. For Rapid, the victory sends a clear signal towards the upper regions of the table.

Austria's focus now turns to the next match, in which the first points are to be claimed. Training sessions are already on the schedule in the coming days, in which the defence is to be reorganised. Personnel decisions are also on the table, including with regard to the squad of the Innviertler side.

Personnel situation at Austria Lustenau

At SV Ried, another club from the Upper Austrian-Vorarlberg sphere, preparations had also been mixed. Captain Leitner had recently stressed that the goal remained staying up. A look at their own signings shows that, with Dejan Radonjic, a player has been tied to SV Ried until 2029.

The WAC players around Mario Despotovic had control of the game over long stretches against Lustenau. The stand-in striker, who had previously stood out as a goalscorer, is part of the Carinthians' squad. The Austria defence rarely found an answer to the offensive moves of the Wolfsberg side.

Outlook on the coming matchdays

The second round of the Bundesliga will be completed over the weekend. For Austria Lustenau, every point now counts in the fight against relegation. The pressure on the coaching staff is growing, as the situation at the foot of the table is already precarious after just two matchdays. The fans from Vorarlberg will be following the development closely over the coming weeks.

The club from Lustenau had recently made several personnel decisions in order to strengthen the squad. With the return of Michael Sollbauer to team training, an experienced player will at least soon be available to the team again. The signings of strikers, which the club had recently announced, are also expected to have an impact.

In the Rapid Vienna camp, there is confidence after the win against Altach looking ahead to the next tasks. The traditional club from Vienna has set its sights high for the current season and wants to climb further up the table. The success against Altach gives the team and the coaching staff tailwind.
