Four rounds then remain in the regular round. A home win would mean the Oststeirer back in the middle of the race. Hartberg would then be the WSG’s first pursuer, only two points behind the Tyroleans. Both coaches knew about the starting position before the direct comparison.
“We haven’t put our pursuit of the top six aside,” said TSV coach Markus Schopp. From the Wattener Lager, Silberberger said: “We can do a lot of things right this week, but we can also make sure that it gets really tight again.”
Hartberg and Tyrol fight for master group
The supplementary game between Hartberg and Tyrol on Tuesday will point the way. Both teams could come a big step closer to the champions group with a win.

Both teams recently without a win
There was no sense of achievement over here or over there last weekend. Hartberg scored 1: 1 against Ried, the WSG lost 0: 1 at home in St. Pölten. Schopp struggled with a good game by his team that remained unrewarded. “If you look at the performance of my team, you can see that they are very ambitious to achieve incredible things again,” said the 47-year-old since Monday. As in the previous year – when they even secured a European Cup starting place – the Hartbergers want to aim high again.
