Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
Borac Banja Luka will look to claim a major scalp in the Conference League round 4 when they face LASK on Thursday afternoon. The Bosnian Serbs were not in action in the national championship at the weekend, meaning that tired legs should not prove to be a big problem for them. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be talented winger Enver Kulasin, who is likely to prove a handful for the opposition back-line. Goalkeeper Nikola Cvetkovic continues to miss out with injury.
The Black and Whites, on the other hand, are brimming with confidence following a 2-1 win over Salzburg in the Austrian Bundesliga derby. As LASK are a more experienced side than Borac Banja Luka, who are having a debut season in the competition, away win should be considered. The likes of Usor, Pintor, Ljubic, Lawal, and Andrade should miss out with injuries for the away team.
Highlighted Team (LASK):
Founded back in 1908, LASK are an Austrian football club that compete in the Bundesliga. Die Laskler play home games at Waldstadion in Pashing. The stadium with the capacity of 7,870 was opened in 1990 and nowadays is known under the name of Raiffeisen Arena. The club, though, welcome their rivals at the 14,000 capacity Linzer Stadion in European competitions.
Back in the 1964/65 season LASK clinched their first and only Austrian Bundesliga trophy, with the team finishing the campaign one point clear of second-placed Rapid Wien. LASK became the first club outside Vienna to win the domestic title and, to make things even better for the fans, die Laskler clinched the domestic cup the same year.
LASK’s home colours are white and violet, whilst they wear black and white when playing on the travels. In the 2018/2029 season LASK booked their place in the Europa League group stages.
