As the season races toward its thrilling conclusion, only two matches remain—and the stakes couldn't be higher. With positions from first to fifth still up for grabs, every point matters. This Sunday, we face the ultimate test: a road trip to Linz to take on league leaders LASK.

The hosts are riding a wave of momentum after their recent cup triumph, and a win against us could seal a historic double if Sturm Graz stumbles in Hartberg. But we're not here to be spectators. While the title race is no longer entirely in our control, we're fighting for every point to secure the best possible European qualification spot—and we're determined to spoil LASK's party.

History is on our side when we visit the Raiffeisen Arena. We've won five of our last six matches there, including a dominant 5-1 victory that still echoes in the stands. However, the bitter 2-3 home defeat in April lingers fresh in our minds, and we're hungry for redemption.

This Sunday isn't just about three points—it's about running for a cause. The match coincides with the Wings for Life World Run, a global event supporting spinal cord research. Last year, we marked the occasion with a win over FK Austria Vienna, and we're aiming to repeat that success.

Injury-wise, we'll be without Takumu Kawamura (knee), Oliver Lukic (back), and Justin Omoregie (shoulder), but the squad is focused and ready. LASK has been formidable under coach Didi Kühbauer, showing consistency and grit in both league and cup play. But we're heading to Linz with one goal: to win and turn the title race into a three-way battle. That much is in our hands.
