Third place possible

Klagenfurt’s points monster has LASK in its sights

Klagenfurt host LASK on Easter Sunday in a duel for third place. Bomber Karweina celebrates his comeback after injury. Defensive ace Wimmer should be back next week.

The points monster is back! Austria Klagenfurt striker Sinan Karweina sensationally leads the scoring and assists list with ten goals and six assists - in the last three games without the German, who has been suffering from a muscle injury, Violett have only picked up one point. On Sunday, on his return, Austria's fearsome opponent, against whom they have never won in four years in the Bundesliga, is expected to fall.

We have to play more courageously than we did against Sturm last time.

Winless against Linz
A win could knock LASK (winless in six games!) out of third place. "We've played a lot of good games against LASK and have often come close to winning. Like the last time we drew 2-2 in February, when we only conceded the equalizer in stoppage time. We have to believe that we can do it. It's important that we play more courageously than we did against Sturm last time," said Karweina.

Whirlwind Karweina celebrated his 25th birthday on Friday. "My biggest wish is of course a win over Linz." His parents traveled all the way from Germany. "They always come to this special day, it's a tradition for us." Today, the two of them are also there in Linz to keep their fingers crossed. "That can only bring good luck," says Sinan.

Chief defender gives the all-clear
In addition to Karweina, striker Sebastian Soto (back problems!) is also fit. Nico Wimmer is not included. The defender stepped on a piece of broken glass at home during the week and cut his little toe. "But I'm already feeling better. I'll be back in training on Tuesday."
