Solomon Bonnah is the team’s midfield engine, while David Toshevski is the most likely man to score with four goals in just seven Bundesliga Relegation Group 2025 appearances.
Patrik Mijic is the man in form for Hartberg, having scored four goals in nine Bundesliga Relegation Group 2025 games, including three in his last five. Manfred Schmid took Hartberg’s reins in September 2024, focusing on organization and disciplined displays further emphasizing the Austria Klagenfurt vs TSV Hartberg preview ahead of their upcoming duel.
Hartberg will wait for Klagenfurt to slip up
Austria Klagenfurt will look to dominate possession, press forward and put their opponents on the back foot. They press well and try to control the tempo by keeping the ball and being an ever-present threat in the attacking third.
TSV Hartberg play compact and wait for their opponents to make a mistake, soaking up pressure and countering quickly. They are very much the reactive team and will get plenty of chances to counter when the ball breaks in behind Klagenfurt’s press.
Hartberg have conceded 20 goals in 15 away league matches, averaging 1.33 goals conceded per game, but they have kept it tight on the road on a few occasions this season. Klagenfurt have conceded 28 in 15 at home, averaging 1.87 goals per game, so this should be close, according to this Austria Klagenfurt vs TSV Hartberg prediction.
