Austria are about to return to the World Cup for the first time in 28 years.With football scholar Ralf Rangnick in the dugout and David Alaba marshalling the troops, the national team are out to make a splash at the tournament in North America – and maybe even finish top of their group ahead of world champions Argentina!So who else will they face in their three guaranteed games? How will they get on? And why might their final match be a revenge clash 44 years in the making?In this episode, Tom and Lee return to The Long Hall Pub & Kitchen in Vienna to preview Austria’s first World Cup since 1998 - from the coach to the players and the opponents – and to cast their predictions for the tournament.

After 61 years without a major trophy, LASK have claimed the domestic double of Austrian Bundesliga and ÖFB Cup. It is a remarkable success for coach Didi Kühbauer, who also won the cup with minnows Wolfsberg last season.But while King Didi is cleaning up on the managerial front, Austria’s club football landscape looks healthier and more competitive than ever – with three different league champions and three different cup winners in the last four years!So will that trend continue next season with another unexpected champion? Why was it a great season for LASK at both ends of the table? And will Saša Kalajdžić carry his fine club form onto the international stage at the 2026 World Cup this summer?In this episode of The Other Bundesliga Podcast, the show all about Austrian football in English, we relive an exciting finale to the Bundesliga season, round up all the talking points from the domestic game and look ahead to Austria’s first World Cup in 28 years.

LASK ended a six-decade wait for a title when they lifted the Austrian Cup last week. Now the Linz outfit are looking to clinch the Austrian Bundesliga title!

All that stands in their way are two matches against Red Bull Salzburg and Austria Vienna – get through them unscathed and they will seal an historic double.

Do Didi Kühbauer’s side deserve the title? Will their rivals finally be forced to admit they are a big club? And has a European football club endured a longer trophy drought than 61 years?

In this episode of The Other Bundesliga Podcast, the show all about Austrian soccer in English, we re-live LASK’s pulsating cup final triumph over Altach in Klagenfurt and predict how this title race for the ages will unfold.
