The first half of the ADMIRAL Bundesliga 2024/25 has already been played, and the clubs will move on to the second half of the season on the first weekend in November. The table is still somewhat “lagging” because they are runners-up FC Red Bull Salzburg still has two additional games to play, each at home against TSV Hartberg and Austria Klagenfurt. Within a few days of the ÖFB Cup thriller, the Carinthian Violets will compete again in a prestigious duel with the WAC. What does the league portal expert think? Gerald BaumgartnerUEFA Pro License coach and experienced BL coach? That’s it Baumi’s Bundesliga expert tip for Round 12.
There were racy scenes in the first leg of round one between SK Rapid and champions SK Sturm Graz. Dijon Beljo, here against keeper Kjell Scherpen, scored the goal of the day on August 4th in Hütteldorf. To date, it was the only away defeat in this ADMIRAL Bundesliga season for the Ilzer team, which is looking for revenge and has won all of its last four BL games. The Styrians are in the flow, while the Green-Whites want to show a reaction to the cup embarrassment against second division team SV Stripfing. A Saturday game in the Merkur Arena that has it all. On top of that, first versus second!

FC Red Bull Salzburg – GAK 1902
“The Salzburg team prevailed in the ÖFB Cup round of 16 against WSG Tirol with an unchallenged 3-0 home win! GAK, on the other hand, lost 1-2 in Bregenz against the second division team. There are three points for the runner-up in the Red Bull Arena I think it’s a must! Graz still hasn’t won the championship.”

SHOT – TSV Egger Glas Hartberg
“Both teams prevailed away in the ÖFB Cup round of 16 and are in the quarter-finals! The resurgent Hartbergers (3-0 in Lustenau) should not be underestimated for LASK (2-1 win in Voitsberg)! The Linzers are currently up A good path, but there is still room for improvement in terms of play for the Schopp team. For the Styrians, the game against Linz and their former coach is another test on the way to the top six in the autumn.”

SK Sturm Graz – SK Rapid
“SK Sturm Graz narrowly defeated rivals FC Blau-Weiß Linz 2-1 at home in Graz-Liebenau in the ÖFB round of 16 and are deservedly in the quarter-finals! SK Rapid was surprisingly eliminated in the ÖFB Cup on Wednesday at the Hohe Warte ADMIRAL 2nd league team SV Stripfing with 1:2! Maybe too much rotation from the Hütteldorfer point of view. But after the game it will be a completely different game against the current BL table leaders! Klauss will be able to rely on tried and tested regular staff again. I expect a top game in which both sides will fight for every inch of the pitch from the start.”

SK Austria Klagenfurt – RZ Pellets WAC
“1:1 in extra time and 8:9 in the penalty shootout, the teams will face each other again in the 12th round of the ADMIRAL Bundesliga. I think there will be an extremely close result again and a very competitive game.”

WSG Tirol – SC Cashpoint Rheindorf Altach
“It’s about almost everything for both teams! Both WSG Tirol and Vorarlberger want to keep the league! It’s clear that it will be a very, very important game for both sides. No losing! The winner can already pull away a little. I think that SCR Altach has shown an improvement in form in the last few rounds.”

FK Austria Vienna – FC Blau-Weiß Linz
“Vienna Austria has quietly and secretly worked its way up to third place in the championship! They are in the quarter-finals of the ÖFB Cup (1-0 win at SV Horn). The Violets are favorites in the home game against FC Blau-Weiß Linz. I expect a Linz team that is well-positioned defensively and has its greatest strengths in set pieces and in the transition game. Austria will try to force the opponent to make mistakes early on through possession of the ball and high pressing.”
