Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
LASK will be aiming to move one step closer to booking their place in the knockout stages when they host Alashkert to their Worthersee Stadion on Thursday evening. The Black and Whites are eager to overtake Maccabi Tel Aviv in top position, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Keep in mind, though, that all Filipovic, Lawal, Letard, Raguz, and Wiesinger are out of contention with injuries.
Alashkert, on the other hand, have been struggling in both Conference League and Armenian Premier League this season. Even though the Armenian outfit outplayed Van 4-0 in their last league match, home win should be considered as the underdogs have slim chances of booking their place in the knockout stages. When the two teams met in Armenia two weeks ago LASK recorded a routine 3-0 win over Alashkert.
