Hartberg vs Tirol Prediction: Home turf will be an advantage for Hartberg

PROfertil ARENA will host the Austria Bundesliga League encounter between Hartberg and Tirol. The two teams could not secure a win in their last meeting. How will this encounter end?

Hartberg's last encounter was against Hartberg, and they will look to do better. Hartberg took the lead twice in that encounter, with Maximilian Fillafer and Patrik Mijic scoring for this side. However, goals from Ben Bobzien denied Hartberg maximum points in that game. Heading into this game, however, Hartberg has not lost any of their last four matches, drawing three while securing a win against Latnitz. This season, Hartberg has the fewest points in the Austria Bundesliga League with three points from a possible 15. 

Tirol's last league match was against Red Bull Salzburg, and they held them to a goalless draw. Tirol had only 26 percent of the possession in that game, attempting 13 shots while only two were on targets, which they could not convert. In the meantime, Tirol's recent matches saw Tirol win two, coming against Deutchlanderger and Ingolstadt, while losing to Austria Klagenfurt and Sturm Graz. In the league this season, Tirol has accumulated five points from 6 matches, leaving them seated in the 10th spot in the standings. 

The previous meetings between these sides have ended in two wins apiece for the two sides. While Tirol were brilliant against Red Bull Salzburg, I believe they have much to give in this game. In the meantime, Hartberg's unbeaten run at home should be a huge advantage for them. Expect a close game with both teams having a good chance in attack, while betting on Hartberg winning should be the main option.
