Maurice Entleitner from FC Pinzgau Saalfelden had a difficult season last year. This year he is a regular in coach Florian Klausner's team and currently has only one wish. Austria Salzburg is out to make amends.

Maurice Entleitner joined western league side FC Pinzgau from Kitzbühel last summer. However, he only played eight times due to several injuries. "I struggled at the beginning, but when you get a bit of match practice and the coach trusts you, you become more confident from game to game," says the Mittersill native. Both are the case this year, with coach Florian Klausner putting his trust in him and starting him in every match so far. "The performances are improving from game to game," says the 23-year-old with satisfaction. But: "I'd just like to score a goal one day, maybe one will come my way." Who knows, maybe today at Schwaz . . .

Scoring goals is no problem at Austria Salzburg; with 30 goals in ten games, the Maxglans have the best offense in the league. Kitzbühel should feel the effects today and make up for the defeat against Imst.

Regionalliga West, Saturday: Bischofshofen - Reichenau (14), Röthis - Wals-Grünau, Austria Salzburg - Kitzbühel (both 15), Altach Juniors - St. Johann, Dornbirn - Imst (both 15.30), Schwaz - FC Pinzgau, Hohenems - Kuchl, Kufstein - Lauterach (all 16).
