Hartberg vs Admira Prediction & Betting tips
The new league format in the Austrian Bundesliga was hotly debated. In many places there were also critical voices to hear, but this is common with every innovation. This weekend, the newly created Zwölfer-Bundesliga will complete the first season in the new mode. Thanks to the new game mode, the tension is still present in the last round. In the qualifying round – colloquially referred to as “lower play-off” – the relegated decides only on the last matchday. To choose from the two promoted TSV Hartberg and Wacker Innsbruck. Bundesliga debutant TSV Hartberg has an advantage and can fix the league with a home win. In the last home game of the season Hartberg meets the Admira.
The Admira played a strong spring after a catastrophic fall. The many young savages have proven their quality and fixed last weekend the league. Then there was a day off, as party was on the program. However, the Admira is aware of the responsibility and will not take the last game of the year lightly. Due to the initial situation, however, the bookmakers have a clear favorite – and this is called Hartberg. The game starts on Saturday afternoon at 16 pm.
Hartberg:
Thanks to the Bundesliga reform succeeded TSV Hartberg last season for the first time promotion to the Austrian Bundesliga. Due to the increase in the second place was enough to fix the desired goal. However, the team of head coach Markus Schopp – who took over for Christian Ilzer, who accepted an offer from the WAC – could now be the big loser of the new reform. For the first time there was the division of points – and without this, the Bundesliga freshman would long since be saved. Hartberg convinced especially in the fall and was even allowed to dream of the upper play-off. As the season continued, the Schopp-Elf gradually went from the air. The performances and also the results in the last weeks were by no means satisfactory. Overall, Hartberg could celebrate nine wins this season, but only two since the division of points. By comparison, Wacker Innsbruck has won only seven games so far, but four of them after the division of points.
Currently Hartberg has two points ahead and also a better goal ratio to show, but Hartberg would be in the case of points equality definitely behind the Innsbruck. At Wacker Innsbruck, the points were rounded down and thus the current tail light has almost half a point more. Should Wacker Innsbruck win, then the TSV Hartberg must win the last home game of the year – otherwise the descent is sealed after one year.
In the last 17 league games there were only two victories – the self-confidence is accordingly not huge. Nevertheless, Markus Schopp tries in the optimism of purpose, after all, hardly anyone had expected Hartberg before the start of the season that the newcomer has the league on the final day in their own hands. But in all probability Hartberg will need a win.
Admira:
At the beginning of the season, Admira was still allowed to represent Austria in the Europa League – but lost twice to the Bulgarian representative CSKA Sofia. Even then, it had become apparent that the “gray mouse” from Maria Enzersdorf could not cope with the many departures. This picture was confirmed throughout the fall and one setback followed on the next. Only two victories in the season, the Admira in the autumn of 2018 cheer and wintered in the last place in the table. Already at that time the following division of points in the autumn for Admira was a great ray of hope in the relegation battle.
In the winter preparation the team of head coach Reiner Geyer (since end of October in the office) fulfilled the homework and presents itself not only one, but felt by at least three classes stronger than in the autumn. In the last games of the basic round, a catch-up was started and in the qualifying round of the Austrian Bundesliga, the good form was also confirmed. The reward was the fixed relegation last weekend with a 3-2 home win against Wacker Innsbruck. Thus, the Lower Austrians prevented a nerve battle on the last matchday.
A descent of Admira would have been bitter in any case, because in the present time the club still relies largely Austrian players. In addition, the Admira is known for its outstanding youth work and again and again the club manages to bring new talents big. Currently Sasa Kalajdzic is the hottest iron in the Admira. The youngster has played with eight goals and four assists right down to the notepads of international clubs.
The joy after the fixed relegation was huge, but the responsible person is also aware that the last game must not be lowered now. Not much was missing and possibly the Admira would have been equally dependent on outside help. In addition, the young wild are extremely hungry for success and want to end the year with a positive experience. With the current betting odds between Hartberg and the Admira a prognosis towards the guests is quite an interesting option.
