Klagenfurt in the relegation battle: victory against Hartberg a must!

Klagenfurt, Österreich - On May 23, 2025, Austria Klagenfurt competes against TSV Hartberg in the decisive game of the 32nd and last match day of the Admiral Bundesliga. The kick -off is at 7:30 p.m. Klagenfurt fights for relegation and urgently needs a victory to prevent relegation. With currently 16 points you are one point behind SCR Altach and three points behind GAK in the table.

A victory today would maintain the chance of staying in the Bundesliga, provided that Altach and GAK also lose their games. In the event of a tie gak would be placed behind Klagenfurt due to the direct duel.

combat situation for Klagenfurt

The Austria Klagenfurt has to prepare for an exciting encounter, especially since the TSV Hartberg is in the middle of the table, but no longer has any promotion or relegation. Hartberg is currently in eighth place and will compete against LASK in the relegation games. For Klagenfurt it is not just a game, but a crucial moment to secure your Bundesliga future.

The relegation battle is not just limited to a team this season. In the past, there have been similar scenarios, such as the descent from Admira after the 2021/22 season, which, despite a solid basic round, ultimately relegated with 20 points. Even then, an unfortunate division of points led to the dramatic turn. In the current case, Klagenfurt can have similar concerns, even if the framework conditions may be less dramatic.

urgency in the qualification group

The form of teams in the qualification group has played a crucial role in recent times. Klagenfurt's decline could have fatal consequences. They are aware that Altach's surprise rise, which performed strongly this season, cannot offer any imposed certainty for their whereabouts. The tension is tangible and the fans hope for a victory that could mean a sensible continuation of the Bundesliga participation for Klagenfurt.

In the current final phase of the season, Klagenfurt has the opportunity to determine their future on their own. Every game, especially today, could have a lasting impact on the fate of Klagenfurt in the Bundesliga. How the situation will ultimately develop remains to be seen, but the signs are clear.
