Preview: Salzburg Hosts SpG Südburgenland/Hartberg in Frauenliga Clash

SALZBURG, Austria (Interstat) — Salzburg will look to rebound from a narrow defeat when it hosts struggling SpG Südburgenland/Hartberg in an Austrian Frauenliga match on Sunday.

The home side enters the contest following a 1-0 loss to league power FK Austria Wien on March 14. That result snapped a three-match unbeaten run in league play for Salzburg, which had shown offensive potency in a 5-5 draw with Sturm Graz W in February and a 4-2 win over Alt/Vorderland W in November.

The visiting side from Südburgenland/Hartberg seeks to end a prolonged defensive crisis. The team has conceded 22 goals in its last four Frauenliga matches, including a 1-0 home loss to Linzer ASK W also on March 14. Its season has been marred by heavy defeats, including 6-0, 6-2 and 7-0 scorelines.

The head-to-head history heavily favors Salzburg. In the most recent meeting on Oct. 5, 2025, Salzburg secured a commanding 5-2 away victory. Statistical analysis firm Interstat projects a similar outcome, simulating a final score of Salzburg 4, SpG Südburgenland/Hartberg 1.

For Südburgenland/Hartberg, the match is the start of a difficult stretch, with a visit from defending champion Saint Polten W looming on March 29. Salzburg will turn its focus to a road match at Neulengbach W on March 28 following Sunday’s fixture.

Kickoff is scheduled for Sunday afternoon at Salzburg’s home venue. The match will be played under clear skies with a forecast high of 12 degrees Celsius (54 Fahrenheit).
