What to expect
We expect about 1.4 goals from Hartberg and 1.1 from Austria Vienna, so Hartberg come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 2.5 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.
Hartberg come into this on three straight defeats. Austria Vienna come into this on three straight defeats. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.
Our pick: Over 1.5 goals. This should be an open game: we make it around 2.5 goals between the two (xG 1.4-1.1), landing about 76% of the time on these numbers. Both sides carry a threat, so the goals should follow.
We put the chance of that landing at about 76 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.32, which works out at about 76 out of 100. The two sit close together, so this is a lean rather than a standout price.

One thing to watch
An early goal can kill the tempo just as easily as spark it, and a quiet second half leaves this short. We make it about 76% and the price sits right on top of that, so there's little cushion if it turns.
