Kapfenberg - Mattersburg 22.10.2013, 18:00 Kapfenberg more and more ambitious, Mattesburg demoralised Kapfenberg is in a series of six wins in last seven matches, their ambitions to be champions are awakening, while not even the change of coach helped Mattesburg whose players are in a big psychological crisis Kapfenberg is awaiting the greatest disappointment of the championship Mattersburgin a great mood, since they won six of their last seven games, the seventh one being an unexpected draw at last-place Parndorf. Many are wondering whether the team that was in the first league two seasons ago can hold on to such a rhythm and enter the contention of the title, and its not an easy question to answer. Before the season no one in kapfenberg was mentioning a title, the financial situation in the club is not the best, and their players roster is good, but not good enough to get to first league. However, should kapfenberg during the winter break bring three or four reinforcements, that story would change, and that it could change can be seen by their bringing in the Slovenian striker and former national team member Klemen Lavric last week. its true that Lavric is coming back after a long break due to an injury and is not yet ready to play, but the winter transfer window will give a clearer picture about the clubs ambitions. Until then, the team coached by Kurt Russ will try to gather as many points as they can, and that unburdened playing is one of their great advantages. They play without the imperative, but with great motivation and sacrifice, and their current form is really great. - We will not speak of the title and a great surprise, but we wouldnt mind that. Our wish is for coach Russ and teh players to go on in the same manner, to continue winning, and then well se whether somebody will stop us - said the club president Erwin Fuchs, who obviously has some trumps up his sleeve in the financial matters. - The win over Hartberg was very important to us, and now well try to repeat that against Mattesburg - says the Kapfenberg coach Kurt Russ who, besides already injured Spirk and Farnelitner, might also be without the standard defender Schonberger. - We are in for a tough match, and we must all show the highest level of passion and concentration on the pitch to get the points once again. We are playing at home and we wish to give our supporters a good show so defeat is not an option - concluded Kapfenberg coach Russ, and announced the usual 4-4-2 formation, in which besides the two picks there are also killer midfielders Osman and Wendler with a combined total of seven scored goals. Not even the sacking of the coach Alfred Tatar and bringing in the Kerner-Lederer duo brought anything good to Mattesburg, moreover, in the Horn match the players looked even worse than before, without any ideas in the midfield and imprecise on the occasion when rare strikes on goal should have been made a real threat to away teams goalie. With such a play Mattesburg have no chances to place high, and 17 allowed goals so far in away matches are a worrying statistic before the match at Kapfenberg. An added problem is the obvious psychological crisis of last years first league players and its hard to prognosticate in what way a positive change might happen in Mattesburg, although it couldnt be said that the roster does not have quality. - I think that we cannot do worse than the Horn match, although its obvious that we have to improve significantly to cut short this losing streak - admitted Mattesburg defender Alois Holler, and the seriously injured midfielder Seidl will again be sorely missed by the visiting team. - We have to be compact and try to create as many chances as we can against the excellent home team. It will be difficult, but if we dont believe in success we wont achieve it - concluded Holler, but such a dispirited Mattesburg is too much of a question mark. Tip 1 Ah-1,0 kurz 2,35 vklad 5/10
