The SCR Altach women’s team faces FC Blau-Weiß Linz / Kleinmünchen this weekend in a match carrying significant weight as the ADMIRAL Frauen Bundesliga prepares for its winter pause. Altach, vying for a top-half finish, will host a Linz side battling to climb out of the relegation zone, making this final league contest before the break a pivotal one for both clubs. The match, scheduled for Saturday at the CASHPOINT Arena in Altach, comes after a challenging week for both teams in ÖFB Women’s Cup play.
The SCR Altach women’s team prepares for a crucial matchup against FC Blau-Weiß Linz / Kleinmünchen in the 13th round of the ADMIRAL Frauen Bundesliga – the last before the winter break.
Altach, currently fifth in the league standings, will host Linz, who sit near the bottom of the table. Both teams have significant stakes in this contest, as Altach aims to solidify its position in the upper half of the league while Linz desperately needs points to distance itself from the relegation zone.
The teams previously met earlier this season on matchday four, with Altach securing a dominant 3-0 victory on the road in Linz. Selina Albrecht, Petra Mikulica, and Luca Scheel each found the back of the net for the winning side.
Linz enters the contest with momentum, having recently recorded back-to-back wins. They defeated SpG Südburgenland / TSV Hartberg in a high-scoring affair, 6-2, and followed that up with a convincing 3-0 away win against SG MALEREI GLANZER Geretsberg / Bürmoos in the ÖFB Women’s Cup, earning them a quarterfinal berth.
Altach, however, suffered a setback last weekend, falling 2-1 to SK Sturm Graz in the round of 16 of the ÖFB Women’s Cup. Despite a strong performance, the Altach squad was eliminated from the tournament in a disappointing result.
This weekend’s league match offers both teams a chance to end the year on a positive note and set the tone for the remainder of the season. A win for Altach could propel them further up the table, while a victory for Linz would be a vital step in their fight to avoid relegation.
