Hartberg Team Overview
Hartberg had a fairly productive pre-season, winning 4 of their 7 matches. In three of those, they kept clean sheets - solid enough defensively. That said, the level of opposition was pretty modest, so there's only so much to take from it. The first competitive match turned out to be trickier than expected: they conceded to a Regional League side and only managed to build a comfortable lead deep into second-half stoppage time.

⭐ Editor's Pick
Recent form and trends point clearly to goals at both ends. Red Bull Salzburg score consistently but keep leaking at the back - they've conceded in 13 straight matches and the numbers are high across the board. Even in a recent cup game against a Regional League side, they still managed to give one up. Hartberg tell a similar story. Given all that, both attacks look likely to find the net here. Our pick: Both Teams To Score - Yes.
