ℹ️ Team News: TSV Hartberg

TSV Hartberg boss Manfred Schmid has to currently contend with reduced team options. Donis Avdijaj (unknown injury), Manuel Pfeifer (unknown injury), Maximilian Fillafer (unknown injury) and Fabian Wilfinger (Hamstring injury) are those who can’t be considered.

We reckon that TSV Hartberg appear most likely to utilise a 4-3-3 lineup by sending out Raphael Sallinger, Damjan Kovacevic, Furkan Demir, Jürgen Heil, Paul Komposch, Dominik Prokop, Youba Diarra, Benjamin Markus, Marco Hoffmann, Patrik Mijic and Justin Omoregie.

💭 Prediction

Our assessment is that TSV Hartberg certainly have the ability to put a goal past this LASK Linz side, although that possibly won’t be as many as they’ll concede.

Our tip is for a very close game with a 2-1 victory for LASK Linz by the conclusion of the game. Let’s just see how this one goes.
