Bischofshofen is under pressure. A full success is needed against Imst. FC Pinzgau are also aiming for one. The team of coach Schützinger wants to live up to its role as favorites against Dornbirner SV and also welcomes back an injured player to the squad.

Bischofshofen face an important match in the Westliga. After three defeats in a row, including last week's derby loss to St. Johann, Adonis Spica's side must win again if they are not to lose touch with the front runners. However, this will not be an easy task against Imst. "With the license, they are certainly even more motivated," says the manager, while also emphasizing: "We want to keep the three points in Bischofshofen!"

FC Pinzgau, on the other hand, go into the match against Dornbirner SV as clear favorites. "We're expecting a deep-lying opponent who will come at us physically," says coach Johannes Schützinger from the first leg (1:0). "We hope that we can gain the upper hand in terms of play." Very positive: David Hutter is back in the squad for the first time this spring after his injury. "More and more players are coming back now. But that makes it more difficult for me to decide who should play. But I'd rather have these worries," says Schützinger, pleased with the returnee.
