Hartberg vs Austria Vienna Prediction & Betting tips
The last game in the Austrian Bundesliga will kick off on Wednesday evening at 19:30 p.m. in the Profertil Arena. Who will secure the last ticket for the UEFA Europa League? The advantage after the first leg last Saturday is clearly with the hosts from Styria. Can Hartberg defend the lead against Austria Vienna?
It would undoubtedly be the greatest success in the club’s history for Hartberg and probably one of the biggest surprises in recent years in the Austrian Bundesliga. After the 3-2 victory in the Generali Arena, Hartberg has opened the door to Europe.
The pressure on the shoulders of the guests from Vienna favorites is enormous and after the first leg defeat purpose optimism was scattered. So far, the Violets have not lost an away game in 2020, but on Wednesday a victory with two goals difference is needed.
A look at the betting base odds comparison between Hartberg and Austria Vienna currently provides completely balanced odds on the three-way market.
Hartberg:
In the last game of last season TSV Hartberg secured relegation, a year later the crowning could follow. Successful trainer Markus Schopp already described the season as fantastic, in the case of international qualifications it would even be outstanding.
Champion Red Bull Salzburg is the only team that Hartberg has not won against this season. The underdog has won at least one game against all other Bundesliga teams. With the exception of the Bulls, the games with the participation of the Schopp-Elf are the richest scorers.
No team in the Bundesliga has a higher percentage in this regard. Between Hartberg and Austria Vienna, the prognosis for a goal-rich game promises good chances of success.
The victory on Saturday underpinned the findings of the previous season – the Styrians feel more comfortable abroad than in front of a home crowd. Seven of the twelve wins of the season in the 32 Bundesliga games were celebrated abroad.
Now it is time to save the advantage over time at home. Because, above all, the performances since the restart in the Profertil Arena were by no means satisfactory. In the five play-off home games, the WAC only won a point (3: 3), the remaining four games were lost with a goal difference of 2:14.
Austria Vienna:
The mode with the Europa League play-offs gives the eleven from Vienna favorites a chance to conclude a totally messed up season. The Europa League was the absolute minimum goal for Wiener Austria, but the head coach Christian Ilzer’s team never met this claim at any time of the season.
On Saturday, the tiredness in the violet camp was clearly felt. Finally, Wiener Austria was still on the grass on Wednesday to qualify for the final. The extremely intense play-off time and the short regeneration time after the semi-finals made the violets extremely sleepy.
As the game continued, Austria got tired and found the game better. However, due to the result, a lot of risk had to be taken and Hartberg had found several top-class players. However, the increasing performance with the continuation of the game gives hope in the camp of the violets.
The violets can draw even more hope from the fact that points were scored in all away games this calendar year. On November 3, 2019, the violets last suffered a defeat in foreign territory (0-2 against LASK).
The shape towards the end of the play-offs was also absolutely satisfactory. Seven of the eight seven games were won before the first leg against Hartberg and so there should be no lack of confidence. Coupled with the weakness of the Styrians at home, a tip on the violets is quite interesting on Wednesday between Hartberg and Austria Vienna.
