Sturm, RB Salzburg, Rapid, Austria Vienna - these are the usual suspects in Austria, but unexpectedly the teams of Wolfsberger and Hartberg have reached the final for the cup.
Wolfsberger has reasons to be considered a favorite and continues to write its history, lacking trophies, except for a first place in Liga 2. They have also had some European participation in recent years, which they are looking to achieve now. They are currently in third place in the championship and have recorded some good victories recently, beating RB Salzburg and Rapid Vienna quite recently and have not lost in seven consecutive matches.
Hartberg has even fewer successes than their opponent, having played only one match in European tournaments in their entire history. Unlike Wolfsberger, they have remained in the bottom half of the standings in the championship, currently in eighth place. In October, they surprised Wolfsberger as guests with a 3:2 victory, but in early March, they lost to them at home with 0:3.
Forecast: victory for WolfsbergerAt the moment, Wolfsberger is in a better condition, even in better form than both teams. Overall, they have performed better throughout the season, so they have reasons to be the favorite in this final on neutral ground, which I believe they will win.
