Seven goals in 13 games - Marchfeld's Nicolas Meister has been in top form of late. "I'm much fitter now than I was last year," beams the ex-SKN professional, whose team will take on leaders Rapid II in the Eastern League match on Friday.

Only 1.64 meters tall - and yet the defenders in the Eastern League are currently shying away from Marchfeld's powerhouse Nicolas Meister. The winger has played a big part in keeping Hannes Friesenbichler's side unbeaten in eight games: "If we hadn't messed up the first five rounds in the fall, we'd be right at the top now," winks the 24-year-old, who has scored seven times in the last 13 games.

 "I'm much fitter now than I was last year," says the 24-year-old, who has lost a lot of weight. Meister laughs: "I simply went full throttle in preparation. It's really fun at the moment." Although he lost a target man in the center of attack. Attacker Luka Duvnjak recently left the club in tears due to homesickness. "I think that's a great pity. But we have a broad squad." The team will challenge leaders Rapid II on Friday.
"Then we'll take something with us..."
 "A real yardstick. If we deliver our performance, then we'll also take something with us against them." While Krems, after five rounds without a win, will be fighting to turn things around at title challengers Donaufeld on Saturday (3.30pm, live on Krone TV)."
