The ADMIRAL Bundesliga resumes after the international break with an away match against TSV Hartberg on Sunday, April 5th. Kicking off at 14:30 CEST at the Profertil Arena, the game is vital for the team to gain ground on league leaders, as Hartberg is only two points behind.
Historically, matches against Hartberg have been closely contested. This season's previous encounters resulted in a 2-1 away win and a goalless draw. Hartberg has recently struggled with discipline, having a player sent off in their last two league games. Their primary goal threat is Elias Havel, a former academy player, who has scored ten goals this season.
Coach Daniel Beichler is working to reintegrate ten players returning from international duty. Many of these players, including Kerim Alajbegovic, Jannik Schuster, Aleksa Terzic, and Clement Bischoff, gained valuable experience and confidence playing for their national teams.
Injury concerns persist for the team, with Takumu Kawamura, John Mellberg, Justin Omoregie, and Moussa Yeo unavailable due to various injuries. Anrie Chase is suspended following a red card in a previous match. Stefan Lainer has returned to training after recovering from a thigh injury. The match will be broadcast on Sky Sport Austria.
