Never before in Austria’s CL history
It's never happened before! There is a good chance that Austria will be represented by two clubs in the Champions League for the first time this season.
Champions Sturm Graz have secured their place in the new league phase and are in the top flight for the fourth time in the club's history. The dethroned serial champions Salzburg will be aiming for their sixth CL appearance in a row in the play-off second leg against Dynamo Kiev on Tuesday evening (9pm). The Bulls won the first leg 2:0.
Including predecessor club SV Austria Salzburg, this would be Salzburg's seventh appearance in the top flight, which has been increased from 32 to 36 teams this season with a new format. In future, each club will play a total of eight games against eight different opponents in the league phase - four at home and four away. The draw will take place on Thursday evening (6 p.m.) in Monaco.
