Eugendorf want to win again in their clash with Straßwalchen and establish themselves in the upper region of the table. Captain Simon Ernemann sees his team making good progress.

"Friday night, floodlights, derby. What could be better?" Eugendorf's sporting director Christof Kopleder is already tingling ahead of the ninth round of the Salzburg League, as the 33rd clash with Straßwalchen awaits. Even if the duels with Neumarkt and Seekirchen can be seen more as a real derby, "it is certainly an explosive duel," says captain Simon Ernemann. Both sides have players who have already played for the other club, such as Mathias Chudoba (now with Eugendorf) and Luca Forthuber (currently with Straßwalchen).

While Straßwalchen are currently twelfth, Eugendorf are currently in a good fourth place: "The aim is to win and see if we can establish ourselves at the top." It won't be easy, however, as Mario Messner's team will be without two key players: Philipp Teufl is missing due to yellow card suspension and Predrag Gavric for family reasons.

Philipp Teufl has to miss out due to five yellow cards.

However, the captain, who also holds a leading position at Porsche, knows: "We will certainly get even better because many of our players are only now really finding their feet in the Salzburg League."

ASV Salzburg, who have a mammoth task ahead of them today with Grödig, are still doing the same.
