Vienna Women Host Austria in the Wiener Derby at Hohe Warte
Matchday two of the ADMIRAL Women’s Bundesliga Championship Group brings an early highlight: the Wiener Derby between Vienna and Austria promises excitement and intensity. Kick-off is set for Saturday, April 19, 2025, at 17:00 at the historic Hohe Warte. For Vienna, it’s a home match with extra spice – and one clear goal: Vienna is to stay blue and yellow!
Strong Derby Record as Motivation
Recent head-to-head results clearly favor the home side: Vienna have won four of the last five Wiener Derbies, with only one loss in that stretch. One particularly fond memory comes from the most recent clash at the *Verteilerkreis*, where a late goal from Lara Höcherl secured a hard-fought victory for Vienna.
Head coach Mark Dobrounig emphasizes: “Derbies follow their own rules, but our record shows we know how to get the job done against Austria. We want to carry that positive energy into this game.”
Close Matches, No Reward – Vienna Looking to Turn the Tide
It’s been a mixed start to the spring campaign for Vienna’s women. Despite putting in dominant performances in several matches, the deserved rewards have often failed to materialize. Last weekend’s away game in Graz was a perfect example: despite clear superiority on the pitch, Vienna suffered a narrow 0–1 defeat to Sturm – a bitter loss following a costly individual error.
“We did a lot of things right in terms of our play, but the result just didn’t reflect that,” said head coach Mark Dobrounig. “Now it’s about turning that determination into something positive – and what better occasion than a derby?”
Austria Under Pressure – Vienna Counting on Home Advantage
Austria arrives in Döbling as the closest chasers to league leaders St. Pölten. Their top-of-the-table clash last week ended in a 1–1 draw – a result that puts the team from Favoriten under pressure to deliver. But things will be different at Hohe Warte: a fierce derby atmosphere, an emotionally charged occasion, and a Vienna side hungry to defend their home turf with passionate support behind them.
Coach Dobrounig is ready for the fight:
“We know what this match means to our fans. The players are fired up, and you can already feel the energy building. We’ll do everything we can to keep all three points here in Döbling.”
Full Support Needed – Together for Derby Victory!
A derby is more than just a match – it’s about passion, emotion, and pride. And that’s exactly what we want to feel in the stands. Vienna Women are counting on every voice in the stadium – on every fan in blue and yellow who stands behind the team.
Come to Hohe Warte, cheer our girls on, and show: This is Vienna, and it's blue and yellow!
