Next weekend the 25th round is on the program in the 2nd division. Slowly but surely, things are getting down to business in the second-highest division. At the top of the table, Blau-Weiß Linz is slowly but surely pulling away, already five points ahead of Lafnitz and Liefering. Austria Klagenfurt (4./44 points) and Innsbruck (5./42 points) duel for promotion. The table cellar is also very tight.

Young Violets Austria Vienna – SKU Amstetten
Live ticker Young Violets Austria Vienna vs. SKU Amstetten
With a strongly weakened team, the Young Violets recently lost against promotion candidate Wacker Innsbruck. For the young violets, one can only hope that the tense corona situation will improve significantly before the home game against Amstetten. In the table, the Violets are ranked 14th with one game less than their direct competition. SKU Amstetten is a badly ailing boxer in Vienna, the Lower Austrians recently conceded six defeats in a row. The SKU also had no chance in the supplementary game against Blau-Weiß Linz on Tuesday and lost 2-0.

5: 0, 5: 2, 5: 0, 2: 0 are the last four results of FC Blau-Weiß Linz, which has now taken the lead in the second division. The Linz team were able to win the last eight league games in a row and are apparently marching inexorably towards the championship title. As is well known, the Upper Austrians do not want to advance, but winning the title would still be a great success for the club. The Stahlstädter want to continue the winning streak on Friday, when they appear at SV Horn. The Lower Austrians are in last place in the table after the bitter defeat against Rapid II and now have to tremble tremendously to stay in the league. The Horns have now been waiting for a full success in the second division for nine games.

FAC – SC Austria Lustenau
Live ticker FAC vs. SC Austria Lustenau
There was a classic trainer effect to be admired last Saturday at the FAC. Under the interim head coach duo Mitja Mörec and Aleksandar Gitsov, the Floridsdorf team turned a 2-0 half-time deficit against the OÖ Juniors into a 3-2 away win. For the Viennese it was the first full success since mid-March. This enabled the FAC to gain some breathing space in the relegation battle and advance to 13th place. On Friday, the Floridsdorfer meet Austria Lustenau, who are also still in the relegation battle. Like the FAC, Vorarlbergs hold 26 points and are currently in 12th place. The Lustenau team won the first duel of the season 2-1.

GAK 1902 – SK Rapid II
Live ticker GAK 1902 against SK Rapid II
With a clear 3-0 home win, Austria Klagenfurt kicked the GAK out of the promotion race. Now the Grazers are already nine points behind the Carinthians. This means that the red jackets have to prepare for another year in the second highest division. Nonetheless, the Graz team's previous season was absolutely impressive. With Rapid II, an opponent will visit the GAK on Friday, who is still in the table cellar, but was recently able to score an immensely important 1-0 win against Horn. This enabled the Viennese to break free from the clutches of the Waldviertel and catch up with the competition. In the first duel of the season, the GAK prevailed almost 2: 1 against Rapid II.

KSV 1919 – FC Liefering

At first glance, the Lieferinger team seem to be the clear favorite among the “Falken”. But the “young bulls” will certainly not make the mistake of underestimating the Upper Styrians. This is how Kapfenberg managed to win 5 of the last 6 home games. Among other things, there is nothing to get for the Lafnitzer in the current seventh in the table. The talent factory from Salzburg is also in good shape at the moment. You have to be content with a draw with the addendum against Juniors OÖ. But in total, the Lieferinger are now 7 games undefeated. That way you stay in the fight for the title.

FC Wacker Innsbruck – SK Austria Klagenfurt
Live ticker FC Wacker Innsbruck vs. SK Austria Klagenfurt
At the round hammer, the two teams meet, which are currently rightly claiming a relegation place. The Innsbruckers are under more pressure to succeed. Because you have to gain points if you don't want to lose ground in the table. After a mixed autumn, the Tyroleans found the necessary balance in the spring. In the 11 encounters you only have to admit defeat twice. The Klagenfurters have the opportunity to expand their lead to 5 points with a win in this top game. Which five laps before the end of the season would be a lot of wood.

FC Dornbirn – FC Juniors Upper Austria
Live ticker FC Dornbirn vs. FC Juniors OÖ
The game of eighth in the table against the ninth seems to be completely open. The thing they have in common is that they are very inconsistent. Strong performances are followed immediately by empty messages that you shouldn't expect. For Dornbirn, the main thing is to present themselves from a different angle after the 0: 8 clap in Lafnitz. But you shouldn't expect much from the Vorarlbergers at home. Of the previous 12 games, it is only enough to win two. The Juniors OÖ come rushed with a moral injection. In the addendum, it was possible to wrest a point from the deliverers.

SK BMD Forward Steyr – SV Licht Loidl Lafnitz
Live ticker SK BMD Vorwärts Steyr against SV Licht Loidl Lafnitz
The game day ends with the Sunday matinee, where the tenth meets the third. The Steyrers, who have recently found their way back on the road to success, have a good chance of improving their points account. The fact that Vorwärts goes down 5-0 after four undefeated games, most recently at BW Linz, doesn't change anything. Especially at your own place you always succeed in performing strongly. But the Lafnitzer are a team that should not be underestimated. Finally, there are two empty reports against Liefering and in Kapfenberg. The Southeast Styrian response was to simply shoot the Dornbirner 8-0 off the pitch.
