First Vienna enter this fixture rooted to the bottom of the standings, having secured just a single point from 13 matches. Their attack has been virtually non-existent for most of the campaign, managing only seven goals so far.

Hartberg sit just one place above the hosts but have shown genuine signs of life in recent weeks. A recent away victory over Rapid Wien and a draw against Admira prove they can compete when the opposition isn't dominating the ball.

Both defenses have taken heavy beatings against the elite teams in the division, drastically skewing their overall numbers. Yet Hartberg have looked far more organized when facing sides outside the top tier, recently securing a rare away clean sheet to prove it.

The visitors hold the psychological advantage of winning the previous meeting between these two struggling squads. First Vienna find no comfort playing at home, consistently failing to dictate play or sustain pressure in front of their own fans.

Backing the away side to avoid defeat offers the most logical angle for this matchup. Hartberg have shown they can grind out points on the road, making them a trustworthy side to back against an opponent that simply does not win games.
