Hartberg in front of an important duel: GAK should fall on Friday!

On Friday at 7:30 p.m. there is a decisive duel in the Admiral Bundesliga when TSV Hartberg meets the GAK. A victory for Hartberg would be of great importance in the relegation battle and could give the team the security it takes to ensure relegation. Hartberg currently has a comfortable lead of eight points to the end of the table where the SCR Altach is located. Laola1 reports last with a convincing 3-0 victory against Graz, in which Patrik Mijic scored two goals and Donis Avdijaj was another post did.

coach Manfred Schmid demands a concentrated performance from his team from the start in order to be able to exist against the challenging defensive of the GAK. The return of captain Jürgen Heil and Raphael Hofer should be positive after locks, which also stabilizes Hartberg's defense. Manuel Pfeifer could also return after injury and help the team. The entire environment in Hartberg hopes for another victory that would strengthen trust in the team.

GAK under pressure

The violation of Laszlo Kleinheisler, who cannot participate, is extremely problematic. The situation in the GAK is tense and the team urgently needs a change to leave the relegation zone. The clear goal for the GAK must finally be scoring goals and collecting points.

The further context in the relegation battle

The situation in the relegation battle remains tense, not only for Hartberg and GAK. As [Sportschau] (https://www.sportschau.de/fussball/bundesliga/sechs-teams-bimwaertstrend-und-hoffnungschimmer, Bundesliga offset kampf-prschau-100.html), six teams are at risk. The Bundesliga table shows a clear separation between teams that fight for relegation and those who move in safer realms. Apart from Hartberg and GAK, other teams such as Stuttgart and Schalke are also in a critical situation, as they always have to assert themselves against the descent.

The 25th matchday could be decisive for many of these teams. It remains to be seen whether Hartberg can continue the positive development, while the GAK urgently needs to revitalize its offensive. The upcoming game will be of great importance for both the teams and fans and could significantly influence the course of the relegation battle.
