Hard :
FC Hard is currently in the Regional League West, where the club played already in the pre-season. In the end, it was only eleven out of sixteen, with nine wins, ten draws and eleven defeats slightly negative. In the end, however, the class was never really in danger, and despite two defeats on the last two matches, FC Hard had seven points more than Eugendorf in the final relegation spot. If you want to win the season of FC Hard something positive, then maybe the appearances in the home stadium. Although the club was only 10th in the home table, it had a slightly positive record with six wins, five draws and four defeats.
The result of the three test matches, which FC Hard completed in preparation for the new season, is also positive. Against Austria Lustenau, who was third in the Premier League in the previous season, FC Hard won 2: 2, before a week later he won 2-0 against an amateur club. Only in the last test there was a bankruptcy, but it was neat. Against the FC Memmingen from the regional league Bayern lost the FC Hard with 0: 3.
Sturm Graz :
Actually, fans and managers of Sturm Graz had been looking forward to a nice football week. Only the first leg in the second round of qualifying for the Europa League at home against FK Mladost from Montenegro win and then a loose trophy appearance on Sunday at FC Hard. The joy was destroyed after just one minute in the match against Mladost, when the referee’s penalty whistled for the guests. The 11th was thrown out, and Sturm Graz ran the 0-1 defeat. However, the break was not a success, as they should end up in a 1: 1 defeat – despite a 21-2 chance and two goals that were not given away! There was a lack of goal-setting, as only five of the 21 shots also found their way to the opposing box.
With the defeat, the Europa League for the third of the past Bundesliga season has at least once moved far into the distance. Already the preparation was not successful for Sturm Graz. There was a positive 2-1 victory against CSKA Moscow, but only two games against Austrian amateur clubs could be won and in one case even only 3: 2. Apart from that, Mlada Boleslav from Czech Republic and Vasas Budapest defeated as well as against FC Copenhagen a draw.
