In this match against Antwerp, coach Dominik Thalhammer must keep the team in the usual tactical system, at 3-4-3, favoring the maintenance of possession and organized attacks, through the flanks: Andreas Gruber and Husein Balic they must make up the attack front. For this game the coach of the house cannot count on James Holland, suspended, as well as Dominik Reiter, injured.
