The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Admiral Bundesliga this season. Hartberg have only managed 2 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses from their games here at PROfertil ARENA. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 207 minutes without scoring a league goal. Heil was the last player to find the net.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Sturm Graz (0-3).

This is expected to be a close game, with Hartberg perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Hartberg as a small favourite), we find seven games. Hartberg has won four of these, drawn one and lost two.

Hartberg has scored 14 league goals at home this season, in 10 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 17 goals have been conceded.
