Austria Vienna vs Hartberg Prediction: Vienna to extend their strong performance with a home win

At Generali Arena, Austria Vienna will play Hartberg in round 14 of the Austria Bundesliga League. The last time these two teams met, they settled for a draw. Will there be a winner in this encounter?

Austria Vienna's last encounter was in a friendly game with Traiskirchen, and they won. In an encounter that ended 1-3, Austria Vienna needed three first-half goals to secure a goal, with Florian Wustinger and Marko Raguz both netted. However, in their last league encounter, this team took on Wolfsberger AC, with a 61st-minute Maurice Malone strike being the difference of the day. Heading into this fixture, Austria Vienna have won their last eight matches. With 24 points from 13 matches, Austria Vienna sit third in the league’s log.

Hartberg played First Vienna the previous time out in a friendly encounter and lost. In that game, Dominik Prokop's strike put this team in the lead in the 30th minute until two second-half strikes for their opponent, which overturned the game. However, Hartberg's last league encounter was against Sturm Graz, which they lost. Heading into this game, Hartberg have failed to win their last three matches. In fact, their last win was in late October against Austria Lustenau, which ended 0-3. With 16 points this season, Hartberg sit 8th in the league standings, scoring 16 goals and conceding 16. 

Hartberg are not performing really poorly in the league, but Austria Vienna are in another league at the moment. While looking at how things have ended in the past between these sides, it is worth knowing that the home team's chances are very high, and they can’t afford to lose as they continue their bid for European football next season. Both teams will have their chances and should net here, but the home side will win at the end of the regular season.
