TSV Hartberg once morest WSG Tirol can usually be classified as a duel of equals. In the current situation, however, the Styrians will play as favorites in the home game of the 10th round of the Bundesliga in the Profertil Arena on Saturday (5 p.m.). The Hartbergers are unbeaten in four league games and are in fifth place, while the Tyroleans are only three points away from the end of the table and are second to last. A three-part Styria block ends for them.
After the disappointing outing in the 2nd ÖFB Cup round at DSV Leoben (1:3) and the 0:1 at Sturm Graz following a goalie error, the third attempt on Styrian soil should finally bring something countable. “The next difficult task awaits us, it is definitely a challenge for us,” said WSG coach Thomas Silberberger. His team showed a reaction once morest Sturm and hopefully turned the corner. “We finally have to do our thing for 90 minutes and not make any major individual mistakes,” said the Tyrolean, setting out the route.
In the past few weeks, they have prevented a better result several times than the currently only five points (four of them away). “It’s not an easy situation at all. We start almost every game with a deficit and we have to put that right,” said WSG offensive player Julius Ertlthaler. Only one win of the season is recorded. “Many people are unsettled when you only have five points and are constantly conceding goals yourself,” said Silberberger. He left it open whether he would once more rely on a five-man chain once morest a “very stable” opponent or play with four defensive players. He cannot rely on the suspended David Gugganig. On offense, Bror Blume’s comeback comes too early.
Dominik Prokop, a recently ill support member, is returning to the Hartberg team. It is not yet clear whether striker Maximilian Entrup, who suffered a back injury, will make a comeback. What is certain is that Markus Schopp, who was recently suspended and also ill, can coach from the sidelines once more. He hopes that his team will keep a clean sheet once more, as was the case in the last three competitive games. In the league there was a 0-0 draw at LASK and once morest Altach. This increased the points total to 13, following nine rounds there have never been so many in TSV’s Bundesliga history.
As a reward, the Styrians are currently in the top half of the table. The Schopp team wants to stay there during the upcoming international break. The TSV coach described the game as trend-setting. “If we put our performance on the pitch, I’m pretty sure we can win the game. If we’re not clear in our ideas once morest the ball but also in possession of the ball, we’ll have big problems once morest Tyrol,” explained Schopp . Basically, it was always relatively difficult to play once morest the Tyroleans. The most recent duel was excluded from this. The Hartbergers achieved their biggest win in the upper house in the spring with a 5-0 win.
