TSV Hartberg

vs

SK Sturm Graz

Tips, Stats and Odds

Sturm Graz will test the resolve of TSV Hartberg when the Bundesliga 2026/2027 match at Profertil Arena Hartberg on Saturday and the visitors should have enough momentum and quality to nick it. The odds reflect Sturm Graz's status as the form side and rightly so, with Hartberg 4.6 and the draw 3.75 against the visitors' 1.7.

Fabio Ingolitsch's men have been flying since the turn of the year, with his team winning 4 and drawing 1 of their 5 matches since 1st January 2026. They are playing at a high tempo and with the intensity to keep the tempo up from the first whistle.

Ingolitsch's side are a ball-hungry team that press from the front and attack vertically when in possession. They can suffocate less proactive sides and have had plenty of success against Hartberg down the years, including a 2-4 away win in the Championship Group of the Bundesliga 2026 on 15th June, just two months ago.

Markus Schopp's side are usually in a compact midblock and look to snatch chances on the counter, so this has the makings of a press versus counter derby, which should suit the hosts if Sturm are not quite on their game on the day.

Hartberg have won 3 of their last 5 matches and lost 2, with their recent results showing their mercurial mood – a 0-2 home loss to Voitsberg (friendly), a 3-1 away win over SC Imst (OFB Cup) and a 1-0 away defeat to Red Bull Salzburg (Bundesliga 2026/2027).

This is a really tough match to call as Sturm have won 4 of the last 5 and Hartberg have been sharper at home lately, posting 2 wins and 1 loss, but the bookies have got the odds right as the away side are the more likely winner. But Hartberg should have a fair chance of staying in the game as they have been better at home recently, and Sturm have drawn their only road game in Bundesliga 2026/2027 and have conceded 1.00 goals per game on the road so far.
