Now LIVE: SKN St. Pölten vs. TSV Hartberg on the ticker – football

The “Wolves”, who were in the championship group two years ago, are in fifth place after ten rounds this season. The advantage over the pursuers is four points, the WAC having played one game less. In the home game against TSV Hartberg, an opponent could be left behind on Saturday (5pm) for now.

Oststeirer hold out before the end of the first part of the basic round in tenth as the forceful Wolfsberger in the Europa League, Austria and SV Ried with ten points. As a participant in the field of the top six this spring, the Hartbergers are behind what they have accomplished in the previous season. Coach Markus Schopp used to complain about “little things” that were missing. His counterpart Robert Ibertsberger had “a clear goal” in mind.

“We want to get two wins in a row in this match for the first time this season,” emphasized the St. Pölten coach. Ibertsberger expected a good performance from Hartberg. You have to counter this with “proper commitment and uncompromising defensive work.” St. Pölten ended a three-game winless series the week before with a 4-0 win at bottom Altach. Demonstrated efficiency should also be the key to success against Hartberg.

Hartberg struggles to make up for what has been neglected at St. Pölten and later at home against Altach. Above all, Schopp wanted to see a more stable defensive performance. “It is important to defend in a more compact and intense way. If we succeed, then we will also have our chances going forward,” said the TSV coach about Dario Tadic and Co. Bakary Nimaga is in the defensive midfield after his yellow-red card Quick no available.

Hartberg conceded a goal to Vienna in the second minute. Schopp, therefore, stated: “It is crucial to be there from the first minute. Especially against an opponent who is calm and calm at the moment.”
