In Brief

First game under their new manager Gerhard Truber. Terzic available. Ratkov a surprise absentee. Ulmer out. Okoh and Morgalla return.

Looking Back

Claimed a good 2-0 win away from home against SCR Altach last match. Not the most polished of displays after losing boss Jaissle at the last minute, but did enough to deserve the win.

Looking Ahead

First game under their new manager Gerhard Truber so although a switch from their trusted 4-1-2-1-2 formation isn't likely, personnel could be chopped and changed.

Rotation options Guindo and Omoregie are injured. Neither are missed. Morgalla and Okoh are available.

Attack is still a problem with Sucic out, and now Ratkov too after sustaining a thigh injury against SCR Altach. Koita remains injured, although Fernando is now available to ease the problem a little.

Midfield regular Capaldo will be out until mid-August because of injury; a big blow, despite their depth. Backup CM Diambou will be out for a long time with injury too.

Despite being listed as unavailable, new LB Terzic debutised last match, thus negating Ulmer failing a late fitness test on the day.

Rotation defender Bernardo has left. Not a loss; he was predominantly a stop gap, and has been all but omitted from their squad this season.

In Brief

Buksa & Forst return to bolster the attack. Gugganig may feature. Bacher out. Sulzbacher and Skrbo back in training.

Looking Back

Looked really disjointed and off-colour in the poor home defeat against Austria Klagenfurt, going down 3-1 - and it could have been worse. Too timid in attack, and too uncertain in defence.

Looking Ahead

Main striker Buksa made his return last match.

Sulzbacher, Skrbo, Tomic, and Blume all had substantial injuries that kept them out of the last match. Sulzbacher and Blume are regulars so they'd be missed if out here too. The former (along with Skrbo) are back in training but unlikely to feature.

Number one goalkeeper Oswald is a long-term absentee, which remains a problem.

Young attacker Forst returns from suspension.

CB Gugganig may feature following his return to the club from Wolfsberger AC. He knows the squad already, and with Bacher ruled out until late August, and Okungbowa have been disastrous last match, it would make sense for Gugganig to play. Bacher will be missed; one of their main defenders, and is also the captain.
