In this week 17 match on the 4th of December, Hartberg will travel to Wals-Siezenheim to battle Salzburg in a clash of the Tipico Bundesliga. The game day is forecasted to be a snowy and cold day, and temperatures reaching a maximum of only 2 degrees, so hopefuly the match makes up for the weather. Salzburg sits at 1st place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 1-2 loss against Austria Klagenfurt. Turgay Gemicibaşi struck first for Austria Klagenfurt in the 30th minute on a feed from Markus Pink, then Markus Pink added another in the 80th minute. Salzburg should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 21 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 7th placed Hartberg, recorded a 2-1 win against LASK Linz. Dario Tadić struck first for Hartberg in the 71st minute, then Mamoudou Karamoko tied it up for LASK Linz in the 86th minute. Hartberg is looking for direction having 4 win and 3 losses in their last 10 matches.
In their last match together, in Profertil Arena, Salzburg was victorious by a score of 1 to 0. Nicolás Capaldo struck first for Salzburg in the 44th minute, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else In the end, Hartberg was frustrated by Salzburg’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Salzburg ended the match with the shutout victory.
Dario Tadić has been the most effective weapon for Hartberg lately. The Austrian attacker has netted two goals in his last five matches. Maximilian Wöber and Karim Adeyemi are the top scorers for Salzburg in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
