This Styrian derby in the second division is going to be very hot! More than 5,500 tickets have already been sold on Friday evening (kick-off at 8:30 PM) for the hit between DSV Leoben and GAK. The “Steirekrone” asked the two head coaches Rene Poms and Gernot Messner for a big double interview before exchanging blows.
“Kron”: For the first time since June 2, 1995, DSV Leoben and GAK will meet again in the second division. The Red Jackets then won 2-0 on their own field with goals from Damir Muzek and “Mucki” Wieger. Who is the derby favorite 28 years later and why?
DSV Trainer Rene Poms: Actually that is the GAK, we are the newcomers. The Graz team has been playing in this league for a long time and also has many professionals with second division experience.
GAK trainer Gernot Messner: There is a saying: There are no favorites in the derby. It’s not really about being a favorite. We want to bring our principles to the pitch, get better with the ball and play a good game. Then I am confident that we can win the derby.
