Salzburg plays at home against Brest in the Champions League on Tuesday, while champion Sturm plays against Brugge in Klagenfurt on Wednesday. After the two zeros at the start, both clubs are under pressure. However, the proportion of red-white-red players among Austria’s flagship teams is marginally small.
“The zero must be there,” as they say in football. But no one wants to see this zero. With champion Sturm and number two Salzburg, both Austrian participants in the Champions League have zero points after the first match day. While the Mozartstadts lost 3-0 at Sparta Prague, the Styrians had to admit a 2-1 defeat at Stade Brest. So both ÖFB clubs are already under pressure. If they want to achieve the goal of the play-offs – to which the teams in places nine to 24 are entitled – points must be earned. Ideally this week, when match day two is scheduled.
