Red Bull Salzburg vs. LASK Linz
Sunday 03.08.2008 – 7:30 pm
Title favorite Red Bull Salzburg (actual on place 2) against league leader LASK Linz. Salzburg was convincing up to now above all in the home matches. The impressive statistic including UEFA-Cup: 3 matches, 3 wins – goal difference 16:0. In their own stadium the team of Co Adriaanse is nearly unbeatable and, hence, also against LASK clear favorite.
Whether Salzburg begins again with the forward-duo Nelisse/Janko is doubtful after the weak performance against Kapfenberg. Because of injury absent are Niko Kovac and Alexander Zickler. However, LASK-coach Andrej Panadic can scoop almost from the full. Ivica Vastic is also fit after his muscular problems like defender Niklas Hoheneder. Only the Brazilian Wendel precipitates another three weeks.
