The Metrostars have a full schedule this weekend, travelling out to Gramastetten on Sunday, followed by a derby matchup on Tuesday evening under the lights.
Sunday:
Vienna Metrostars @ Rico Highlanders
One week after the Highlanders dealt a blow to the Wanderers regular season championship dreams with an upset, they now have a chance to distance themselves from last place and automatic relegation to the second league. Game one will be tough, but they’ll look to Wayne Ough to get them the victory in game two much as he did in dominant fashion last week. He’ll still need to get some run support from his teammates, however.
Tuesday:
Vienna Wanderers @ Vienna Metrostars
Two days after the doubleheader in Gramastetten, the Metrostars will be at home to host their rivals, the Wanderers. In this Derby there isn’t much on the line besides bragging rights, the teams are locked in at third and second place, respectively. The inter-Vienna games were played throughout the season on weekday evenings, and the Metrostars will look to even the series at two games apiece in the final matchup. Both teams are at full strength, and will use the game as a major test of their playoff-preparation. Look for a hard-fought battle this time, as both teams will be playing aggressive to win some pride and momentum.
