First meeting of season with TSV Hartberg

Away trip on Saturday

After our first planned meeting with TSV Egger Glas Hartberg this season was rained off (it has been rescheduled for next Wednesday at the Red Bull Arena), we are to finally face them for the first time this Saturday (30 November) at 17:00.

With Markus Schopp leaving at the start of September for LASK, former Austria Vienna coach Manfred Schmid is now on the Hartberg sidelines. The 52-year-old has an impressive record so far with four wins and a draw from eight Austrian Bundesliga matches!

An away win would not only keep the eighth-placed side behind us but would also allow us to progress up the table. Our last two clashes have been promising, as we have won both of them 5-1. The game will be broadcast on Sky Sport Austria along with OneFootball (for free) internationally, while we will provide live text updates on our website.

Views

It's another match and another chance. We definitely have to show a reaction, that much is clear – for our own good. We know that we just weren't good enough against Leverkusen in so many ways, and we need to readjust and reattune a bit to go about our next challenges with confidence. The only solution is to give even more. We have to stick together, support one another and stay positive if we want to get a win in Hartberg.

Pepijn Lijnders

If we want to take another win in the league, finally, we need even more vigour, concentration and sheer determination to score goals at one end and avoid conceding them at the other. We are in a difficult phase as a team, which we will only get out of with hard work.
