🗞️ Team News: Austria Klagenfurt

Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just a single fitness concern for the Austria Klagenfurt manager Peter Pacult to be concerned with thanks to an almost full-strength group. Nicolas Binder (Tear in the abductor muscle) is sidelined. Rico Benatelli will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

We think that Austria Klagenfurt look set to use the 4-3-1-2 formation for this one, handing starts to Phillip Menzel, M. Blauensteiner, Kosmas Gezos, Nicolas Wimmer, Till Schumacher, Maximiliano Moreira, Thorsten Mahrer, Christopher Cvetko, Vesel Demaku, Andy Irving and Sebastian Soto.

There’s a good chance that Die Veilchen appear most likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 lineup, giving starts to Christian Fruechtl, Marvin Martins, Matteo Meisl, Lukas Muehl, Doron Leidner, Manfred Fischer, James Holland, Andreas Gruber, Reinhold Ranftl, Dominik Fitz and Haris Tabakovic.
