Wolfsberger Athletic Club, Wolfsberg, WAC, stationed in Wolfsberg, Carinthia/Austria.
Pretty Solid, good defense, good goalkeeper, excellent midfield, rather limited in forward terms but not to be underestimated there either. Currently tied at 5th after a rather difficult start in the season, owed to loosing half of their core roster, and getting hit by 3 different instances of corona outbreaks. recently on the up after a bit of a slow start in January with 3 Wins out of their last 4 (with last one played yesterday), and an unfortunate 0:1 loss against rapid vienna. Noteable players include: Michael Liendl, their captain, Playmaker in Midfield, creates passes, chances and takes setpieces that honestly would qualify him for a Bundesliga site atleast, also their main goal prepper, and their main pen taker. Dario Vizinger, Right Forward, new acquisition from a croatian club, extremely prone to long distance rockets, scored their winner against Moscow. Dejan Joveljic, Loan from Frankfurt. Their second Main Goalgetter next to Liendl, fast, agile, aggressive in 1v1s, and pretty strong in terms of headers. And then Christoph Wernitznig, OM. Pray to God that he isnt in the starting Lineup, and if he is, pray harder that PEH and Dier arent in ours. Hes the guy that worked out the 3 pens in the 4:1 against Feyenoord, not to speak of the ones he got them in the Austrian Bundesliga (7).
Notable Archievements im Europe: Railing Gladbach 4:0 in their own Arena, Drawing AS Roma 2 times, Winning Feyenoord 4:1 and 1:0, Winning and Drawing against Moscow.
Tldr: A site thats pretty capable if given chances and some time. They like to play aggressive, fast, and hard. Should we win them: Normally, on form, yes. Currently, debatable. As such, we should hope that the lads turn up atleast this time, because if not and we get beaten by a club whose entire roster is less worth than Lamela, it will stick with us. They are giddy and excited as hell to play against us, they are at their club-historys peak, they have nothing to loose and everything to win. If there is ever the chance for a Slip-up, a Stumble to occur, its this one. Lets see what Thursday will bring.
