The title race in neighboring Austria is becoming more tangled, and it was strongly influenced by a Croatian who did a favor to two Slovenians. Marin Ljubičić, a former member of Split’s Hajduk, was the big hero of LASK with the surprising victory of the club from Linza over none other than the mighty Red Bull. Salzburg suffered a 1:3 defeat away from home, experiencing only their third league loss of the season.
Ljubičić’s hat-trick is, of course, a boon for Sturm, where two Slovenian internationals, Tomi Horvat and Jon Gorenc Stanković, ply their trade. The club from Graz has an ideal opportunity to equalize with the club from the city of Mozart at the top of the Austrian Bundesliga table on Sunday. But to do so, they must secure a victory away at Hartberg, who currently sit at the bottom of the championship round table.
Until the end of the season, the red bulls will play six more games, while Sturm will play one more. The derby that will be played in two weeks will likely be decisive – on April 28th, the leading clubs will clash in Salzburg. A win will count double then, especially if the rivals enter the match leveled on points…
