UFC Markt Allhau: An Exciting Season in the II Liga Süd
The UFC Markt Allhau is making waves at the top of the II Liga Süd, showcasing their competitive spirit. With five district clubs forming a resilient midfield in the league, the competition is fierce. Meanwhile, SV Großpetersdorf finds itself in a precarious relegation battle, seeking fresh strategies to preserve its league status.
District Overview: Clubs and Their Journeys
In the Oberwart district, seven clubs are actively competing in the II Liga Süd. For most, the autumn season has concluded with either a secure or a strong midfield ranking. However, two clubs stand out in contrasting situations: UFC Markt Allhau is in close pursuit of autumn champions Kukmirn, while Großpetersdorf is desperate for a turnaround in their fight for survival.
UFC Markt Allhau, last season’s runner-up, started strong but faced some tough losses, including a 5:0 defeat against Kukmirn and a 5:1 loss in Eberau. A decisive 5:0 victory over Großpetersdorf allowed coach Florian Hotwagner’s squad to regain momentum. Despite a setback in their district derby against Rotenturm, Markt Allhau remains just two points behind winter leaders Kukmirn, keeping their hopes alive for a strong second half of the season and a shot at the Burgenlandliga.
In the midfield, five teams are vying for position. A notable surprise this autumn has been promoted Unterschützen. After a rocky start with a 5:1 loss in Rudersdorf, coach Patrick Tölly’s squad quickly found their footing, ending the first half of the season with a commendable record of seven wins and six losses, securing sixth place on the table.
Rechnitz is in seventh place, tied on points with Unterschützen but boasting a better goal difference, despite a 2:1 defeat in their direct matchup. Grafenschachen, sitting in eighth place, is just two points behind, having recently broken their eight-match winless streak with a 2:5 victory against Olbendorf.
Rotenturm and Oberdorf round out the tightly packed midfield in ninth and tenth places, respectively. Both teams share a record of six wins, two draws, and seven losses, maintaining a comfortable eight-point cushion above the relegation zone while only nine points separate them from the second spot.
In stark contrast, SV Großpetersdorf is grappling with injuries and a tumultuous season. Their autumn performance has been less than stellar, with injuries affecting the team almost weekly. However, they had some highlights, including a narrow win against Tobaj and a derby victory over Rotenturm. The club has announced several upcoming changes in hopes of rejuvenating the squad for the spring season, including the departure of Robert Hötschl to league rivals Neuberg. The main goal is to escape the relegation zone as swiftly as possible.
