LASK Linz and Austria Kärnten. Red Bulls face two away dates.
Preview: Round 24 - tipp3 Bundesliga powered by T-Mobile, LASK Linz v Red Bull Salzburg, Sunday, 01 March 2009 – 3:30 pm, Linz Stadium. Special offer for Salzburg away fans.
The Red Bulls have a few days to reflect on their victory over Rapid Vienna before entering into a very important week of three league fixtures.
The tipp3 Bundesliga leaders face a pair of short away trips to the neighbouring Upper Austria and Carinthia regions.
After the two away matches within four days Salzburg will then turn their attention to another top-of-the-table clash at the Red Bull Arena:
Sunday, 01 March 2009, 3:30 pm LASK Linz v Red Bull Salzburg, Linz
Wednesday, 04 March 2009, 7:30 pm Austria Kärnten v Red Bull Salzburg, Klagenfurt
Saturday, 07 March 2009, 6:00 pm Red Bull Salzburg v Sturm Graz, Red Bull Arena
After Sunday’s successful restart to the league the Red Bulls need to carry this momentum away from home as they search for more important points.
Salzburg have already won away in Linz this season, taking a polished 2-0 victory on 1 November in Klaus Lindenberger’s first game in charge of LASK.
Co Adriaanse is forced to change his deadly front line for next Sunday’s encounter as Marc Janko is suspended following a fifth yellow card.
The match will be Linz’s first of 2009 after their game with Altach was postponed on Saturday.
LASK’s last match was a 1-3 friendly defeat to Magna Wr Neustadt in Graz – not a result that would strike fear into anyone except LASK themselves.
LASK are however going to Italy on a three day intensive training camp from this Wednesday in a bid to prepare for Salzburg’s visit.
The Linz City Stadium has under-soil heating which should guarantee that Sunday’s match goes ahead.
