Since the season 2011/12 Flyeralarm Admira is again represented in the Austrian Bundesliga. Although the nine-time Austrian champion (last in the 1965/66 season) from the market town of Maria Enzersdorf is clearly in the shadow of the two big neighbors from the capital, Rapid and Austria Vienna, thanks to outstanding youth work in the Austrian football upper house ,
The “Südstadt” is considered one of the best junior centers in the whole of Austria and the sports management is not afraid to throw these young talents often in the cold water. Again and again, young talents get a chance to present themselves on the big stage and earn the first spurs in professional football. In times of globalization, no second-rate legionnaires are put under the nose of the Austrian youngsters at Admira, but rather the young players are trained and developed.
The Admira was already the ideal springboard for a successful career for many professionals – Leipzig legionnaire Marcel Sabitzer or the long-time Austrian national player Marc Janko are just two successful examples who were allowed to enjoy their training in Südstadt.
Admira:
The first goal of the season scored the 25-year-old German Turk Sinan Bakis in the first leg against TSV Hartberg. After that, however, the offensive player had to wait a long time before he cheered again. In recent weeks, however, he advanced with his goals to the hope in the struggle for the league whereabouts. In the 2: 2 draw against Wolfsberg he scored his third double in a row.
Having already scored twice in the victories against WSG Tirol and Altach, his free-kick hammer from 25 meters in injury time secured an important and above all earned point win against the Europa League starter from the Lavanttal. The seven-time season scorer is bursting with self-confidence in these days, although he himself can not quite explain his success story. For his two goals, he only needed three shots on goal.
Within a very short time, the Flyeralarm Admira has now achieved a turnaround. In many places, the team from Maria Enzersdorf was already traded as the hottest relegation candidate. However, Klaus Schmidt stabilized the defense and brought the success back to the Südstadt.
After seven points from three games, the self-confidence is great and meanwhile rank the Lower Austrians already in tenth place in the table. Local rivals SKN St. Pölten and Schmidt’s ex-club Altach are behind the Admira. The second former club of Klaus Schmidt, the SV Mattersburg, is only one rank ahead of the Admira.
Despite the recent strong performances in the Lavant Valley high quotas were offered on the Admira. The draw against the Europa League starter has probably left an impression. On the 13th match day between the Flyeralarm Admira and Hartberg, according to current odds, the hosts are the minimum favorite for the bookmakers.
Great changes are not expected at Admira. The team has stabilized and with continuity it should give the fourth point win in series. The chances for the third win of the season we estimate as extremely good and see between the Admira and Hartberg in the forecast for the home win definitely available value.
Hartberg:
Almost the division of points TSV Hartberg in the past season was fatal. In the Bundesliga debut, the Schopp-Elf played a big autumn before these performances were not confirmed in the spring. In the lower play-off Hartberg had to shiver for a long time for the league. Despite all the failures, the club leadership kept the peace and was rewarded for it.
This season, the Styrians can seamlessly continue the strong autumn of last year. 18 points from twelve league games is a more than satisfactory result. Above all, the lower half of the Austrian Bundesliga scores points with great regularity. The Schopp-Elf is already six points ahead of seventh place in the table.
The upper play-off would be for the blatant underdog a historic success and would mean the early league. Nobody wants to think about the division of points in Hartberg yet. Although six points ahead seem to be a comfortable cushion at the moment, they can also be quickly lost. The previous season, when Hartberg had to shiver despite a strong autumn, has left traces in the mindset.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / YES @ 1,38
