Hartberg vs Austria Vienna Prediction: Both teams have to be at top level

At Stadion Hartberg, Hartberg will play Austria Vienna in round 3 of the Austria Bundesliga League. Let’s preview this game and make predictions. 

Hartberg's last league game was against last season's champions, Sturm Graz, and they lost. In tha encounter, Hartberg conceded one goal in each half, with Dimitri Lavalee and Mika Biereth netting for Sturm Graz. However, their opening game of the season also ended in a defeat to LASK Linz, and this team has now remained winless this season. With zero points, Hartberg remains in the bottom spot of the league standings, being the only side without an end.

Austria Vienna started their season with a defeat to BW Linz but did well to bounce back in game 2. In that encounter against Wolfsberger AC, this team came from behind to win 3-1 in a home game. In that encounter, goals from Andreas Gruber, Muharem Huskovic, and Dominik Fitz were crucial to securing maximum points. Heading into this game, Austria Vienna is seated 7th in the league standings with 3 points. 

I am confidently backing Austria Vienna to win this game despite being on the road. Hartberg have not gotten their rhythm yet this season, and despite showing confidence in their opener, they still failed to get it right against Sturm Graz. In the meantime, I believe this will be a game open for both teams, and while at home, I expect them to be able to score.
