TSV Hartberg hosts Austria Lustenau in the Bundesliga

On Sunday, October 11, 2026, at 14:30, TSV Hartberg hosts Austria Lustenau at the Profertil Arena Hartberg for the eighth matchday of the Admiral Bundesliga.

Table Standings and Recent Form Entering the Eighth Round

Entering this fixture, the Austrian Bundesliga table shows an exceptionally tight middle tier. TSV Hartberg sits in sixth place with eight points from seven matches, holding a goal differential of 10:13. Austria Lustenau occupies ninth place, also holding eight points with 8:11 goals. From fifth place to ninth place, five teams share identical records of eight points, while Sturm Graz holds fourth place with 11 points. For both clubs, this marks their first competitive fixture in 22 days following a three-week league break.

Under the guidance of head coach Markus Schopp, who returned to the club for his third stint in May, Hartberg recovered from a scoreless start to the campaign. The team enters this matchday undefeated in their last five competitive fixtures across all competitions. This run features a 4:0 cup victory over Vorwärts Steyr, which secured advancement to the round of 16, a 3:2 win against SV Ried, a 2:1 triumph over SCR Altach, a 2:2 draw against WSG Tirol, and a 3:3 result against the double champion LASK after overcoming 0:2 and 1:3 deficits. During the international break, Hartberg completed a short training camp in Bad Kleinkirchheim alongside a 5:0 test match victory against Kapfenberg.

Offensive Output Contrasted With Defensive Vulnerabilities

Markus Schopp’s side has conceded 13 goals in their last five home fixtures at the Profertil Arena, failing to keep a clean sheet in any of their first seven league fixtures this season. This marks the first time since the 2020/21 campaign that the club has gone seven consecutive matches from the start of a season without recording a clean sheet. In league play, Hartberg netted three goals in each of their last two home matches, a feat last achieved in autumn 2023.

Austria Lustenau travels to Styria carrying contrasting home and away form. Under coach Markus Mader, the promoted side secured notable home wins against the WAC (2:1) and a 2:0 victory in the Ländle-derby against SCR Altach featuring goals from Antonio Verinac and Dominik Weixelbraun just before halftime, marking their best performance of the season. In the cup competition, Lustenau earned a 6:2 victory against SV Lafnitz where every deployed striker scored. During the international break, the Vorarlberg side played a prestigious friendly against Schalke 04, suffering a narrow 0:1 defeat. Across seven league matches, Lustenau found the net six times, being held scoreless only in a 0:4 loss against WSG Tirol.
