The Austrian Bundesliga fixture between LASK and TSV Hartberg is set for Monday, 26 May 2025. Kick-off is at 19:00 CEST in Italy, Germany, France and Spain, and 18:00 BST in the UK. Both teams will look to finish the season strongly, making this encounter a key decider for positioning on the final table.
At the Waldstadion, home advantage could play a crucial role, as LASK aims to rebound from their recent setback. Meanwhile, Hartberg arrives on the back of an impressive away win, hoping to spring a surprise and add pressure on the home side early in the evening.
How are both teams coming into this?
LASK’s recent form has been mixed: in their last five fixtures they have recorded three wins, one draw and suffered one defeat. The 0:1 reverse to Grazer AK highlighted some defensive vulnerabilities, but coach Maximilian Ritscher will be eager to tighten things up and harness the team’s attacking potential at home.
TSV Hartberg, under the guidance of Manfred Schmid, have been relatively consistent. Their last five matches yielded two victories, two draws and a single loss. The 3:2 triumph over WSG Tirol showcased Hartberg’s resilience and ability to score, although they will need to maintain defensive discipline against a potent LASK attack.
Our forecast
Based on our analysis, LASK are clear favourites with a 59.13% chance of victory. A draw stands at 22.5%, while Hartberg’s upset bid sits around 18.4%. We expect an open game, with both teams likely to find the net.
Our projected scoreline is 2:1 in favour of LASK. We recommend backing LASK to win on the 1X2 market and also betting on “Both Teams to Score” given Hartberg’s recent offensive displays and LASK’s home attacking flair.
