Last updated: Sun 13 August 2023 08:33Rotation likely, especially for Burgstaller/Kerschbaum/Schick. Bajic closing in on a return. Hofmann returns. Grgic unwell.
Drew 0-0 with Debreceni VSC midweek in a dreadful match with extremely few chances. The result was a fair reflection of the contest.
Absolutely destroyed SCR Altach 4-0 last weekend, and it could have been double that, such was their dominance.
Defender Hofmann finally made the bench midweek, signalling his complete return from rehabilitation.
Right-sider Bajic is almost ready to return. Unlikely to be rushed as he's not been missed with Kuhn's form in mind. He got a couple of minutes midweek so could make the bench again.
CDM Pejic is in rehabilitation following injury. Not as missed as before now that Grgic is in their squad, although the latter will not play either due to being unwell, and it's reported that it'll take some time to get him up to speed fitness-wise too.
May rotate either because of fatigue from their midweek match, or in anticipation of the return leg in Hungary next week. The likes of Burgstaller, Kerschbaum, and Schick are likely to be impacted if so.
Hartberg
Last updated: Sun 13 August 2023 08:34The last game of Sangare's ban. Rotation doesn't seem possible.
Threw away a 2-goal lead for the second match in a row. Were cruising to victory against Blau-Weiss Linz before late absentmindness resulted in a 3-3 draw.
Red Bull Salzburg loanee Sangare serves the final match of his ban. Ordinarily he'd be missed but he's only just returned to the club so they should be ok.
They've been forced into fielding midfielder Heil at right-back of late, clearly not trusting Kovacevic to do the job there because of his age. It's not an ideal situation.
Backup goalkeeper Ehlmann has undergone shoulder surgery. He will not be back playing until after the winter break.
CB Karamarko was again omitted last match, pouring fuel on the fire that he'll be sold soon.
Midfielder Wilfinger is injured; not a loss.
Much as though rotating defensively should help re-focus their players, they don't really have the depth to do so without sacrificing a lot of quality.
