Hartberg take on the visitors Austria Vienna in the second leg of conference league playoff final in Austrian Bindesliga. First leg result: 1-2. The match will be played on Tuesday, May 28th at Stadion Hartberg (Hartberg).
Hartberg have entered the decisive round not in the best form. The white-blue team has won only three out of nine matches since the winter break, with four losses. As a result, they lost the battle for fourth place (and a direct ticket to the Europa League) to Rapid Vienna. Even a resounding 3-0 victory over their rivals in the capital didn't help, as they ended up in the playoffs, where they managed to score late on the road, reducing the deficit to a minimum and keeping their chances for overall success alive. Hartberg have scored in 10 consecutive matches. Schopp will be missing only Emmann.

Despite their illustrious history, the Violets have not won any trophies for more than a decade. Last year, they managed to finish in the top 5, but this time they lost their place in the top six to Rapid Vienna due to tiebreakers, ending up in the relegation group. Even there, they only finished second, behind Wolfsberger. However, in the first round of the playoffs, they defeated Wolfsberger, securing a 2-1 victory away with a last-minute goal. They then hosted a new competitor in Vienna, leading by two goals until the 84th minute but eventually winning with a minimal advantage. Austria Vienna have won their last two away matches. El-Sheawi, Raguz, and Wustinger are injured.
The Violets have won six of their last seven playoff matches, including a 3-1 victory in Vienna in February. Both clubs are aiming for a crucial final success. A good betting option here is both teams to score.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
