Our prediction for this Austria Bundesliga match:
LASK
Match Time & Date:

12:30 PM
Prediction: 3-1
Hartberg
LASK will be looking to restart the season in style when they take on Salzburg in the first round of the championship group. LASK were leading the standings before the coronavirus football break, but they were eventually deducted six points by the Austrian FA for breaking training rules. As a result, they are three points behind league leaders Salzburg ahead of the visit of Hartberg.
This has to go down as a must-win game for the black and whites, and we are positive that they will leave their hearts on the field. Markus Schopp’s troops, on the other hand, have been struggling at the back in the second half of the season, with the team sitting in the ultimate position in the standings at the moment. Seeing that LASK crushed Hartberg 5-1 in their last meeting at Raiffeisen Arena, we are tempted to put our money on the hosts.
