There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Europa League game only three days ago. That game was also an away game, at Arsenal. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Hartberg form and stats

1 victory, 2 draws and 1 defeat. That’s what Hartberg, who have the fewest scored goals (4) at home in Tipico Bundesliga, have to build on here at PROfertil ARENA in the Tipico Bundesliga.

Happy days for Hartberg in their previous game, a Tipico Bundesliga match away at Admira (placed 12th) that ended with a 3-2 victory. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Austria Wien (3-5).

A very satisfying win for Hartberg against Admira last time out as a late comeback secured the victory after trailing 0-2. The win was secured through Seifedin Chabbi's goal in the 87th minute. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of M. Schopp when Seifedin Chabbi scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 85th minute.

The Hartberg fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 4 matches. 5 goals have been conceded.

Rapid Vienna form and stats

2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. That’s the product of Rapid Vienna playing as the away team in the Tipico Bundesliga this season.

Vienna lost away at Arsenal (1-4) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Austria Wien in the Tipico Bundesliga.

It's a bit worrying for Vienna that their goalkeeper Richard Strebinger made seven saves in the Arsenal game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss.

A new game in only four days for Vienna, the Europa League home match versus Molde. Busy days.

Vienna create on average more than 2,5 goals per away game (in the league) all by themselves, having scored 10 goals in 4 travels. For Vienna, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Hartberg, three draws and four wins for Rapid Vienna. Over 2,5 goals: eight times; under 2,5 goals: two games.
