An important duel in the bottom section of the Tipico Bundesliga, with both St. Pölten and Admira experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 9th and the visitors in 10th place.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
For St. Pölten relegation is already certain this season. Only divine intervention and/or time travel can save them and neither look likely. For Admira it's their last days at this level as relegation is a fact.
