TSV Raiffeisen Hartberg is very close to Powerfusion Austrian Volley League final series, as head coach Markus Hirczyâs team won also the second semi-final duel with Union Raiffeisen Waldviertel in just three sets, prevailing 25:21, 25:17, 25:13 in Zwettl on Saturday evening.
Hartberg is still missing a win, and on Wednesday there will be the first opportunity to close the best-of-five series in front of their home fans.
Top scorer of the day were ÄorÄe Knezevic (19) and Lukas Glatz (13) for the winners, and Yaroslav Horobets ( 12) and (12) Jan Berggren (7) for Waldviertel.
In the first playoff duel for places five to eight, UVC McDonaldâs Ried suffered a home defeat against TJ Sokol V/Post SV Wien, 2-3 (28:30, 20:25, 25:14, 25:17, 7:15) in their Raiffeisen Volleydome.
The second leg will take place in the Posthalle in a week.
The winners will play against VCA Amstetten NĂ or UVC Holding Graz, who will face each others on Wednesday for fifth place and thus a European Cup ticket.
About relegation round, there were three home wins today: undefeated VBK WĂśrther-See-LĂśwen Klagenfurt beat Oberbank STEELVOLLEYS Linz-Steg 3-1 (21:25, 25:23, 25:20, 25:18), and so they can already planning for the upcoming Powerfusion VL season.
Their first pursuer is SPORTUNION z+p St. PÜlten, who gave VC Hausmannstätten no chance with a clear 3-0 (25:18, 25:21, 25:21) win. After initial difficulties against UNIONvolleys Bisamberg-Hollabrunn, also VBC TLC Weiz showed no weakness and celebrated a 3-1 (23:25, 25:14, 25:19, 25:8) home win.
Now St. PĂślten and Weiz are fighting each other for the last ticket for 2024/25 Bundesliga.
