Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Dornbirn & Hartberg face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Austrian Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It's no vacation for neither Dornbirn nor Hartberg as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Dornbirn form and stats
Action has already taken place for Dornbirn in Austrian Cup as they have defeated Union Vocklamarkt to reach the 2nd Round. Dornbirn was eliminated in the 1st round last season in the Austrian Cup.Dornbirn have played three Erste Liga home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.
The spoils were shared in Dornbirn's previous game, also at home. Visiting First Vienna travelled back with a draw after a 0-0 scoreline. A painful moment in the game against First Vienna was the missed penalty kick from Nussbaumer in the 85th minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome.
1-1 away at Lafnitz before that.There will be little rest for Dornbirn after this match as they are travelling to Rapid Wien II for a Erste Liga game in only three days.
Dornbirn have scored 1 goal here in 3 league matches, a depressing statistic. On the other hand, Dornbirn have conceded 4 goals.
