Blau Weiss Team Overview
Blau-Weiß were relegated from the Bundesliga last spring, and their only objective is to go straight back up. Michael Köllner's side are on track: 18 points and top of the Second Liga. The manager is counting on his squad depth. When Blau-Weiß dealt with Admira, seven summer signings started from the first minute. One of them, making his first start, scored straight away. The Austrian Cup, however, is already over for the Linz side: they threw away a two-goal home lead and lost to Wacker Innsbruck 2-3.
