Vienna Derby: Violets welcome Vienna with the will to win!

The coming days for the Austria Vienna women's team will be dominated by the upcoming Vienna derby and exciting international challenges in the UEFA Women's Champions League (UWCL). After two impressive wins against Glasgow City and FC Minsk, the Violets are ready to show what they can do against local rivals Vienna at the Generali Arena on Sunday. They are continuing their successful record and also want to score points in the domestic Bundesliga.

Last season, the Violets achieved two wins from four matches against Vienna, accompanied by one draw and one defeat. This track record creates additional pressure to score the necessary points in the upcoming match. The Violets have also shown a strong performance so far this season: after three Bundesliga rounds they have already achieved two wins, while Vienna have only recorded one win and two defeats in their last three games.

Head coach Kenesei is confident that his team will deliver a good performance this time too. The return of Claudia Wasser in particular is seen as an important reinforcement that could help the Violets win the game.
