Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
LASK
Match Time & Date:

19:00
Prediction: 2-0
St Johnstone
LASK will be aiming to bounce back from the Bundesliga defeat to Sturm Graz when they take on St Johnstone at Raiffeisen Arena in the Conference League playoffs, first leg. The Black and Whites rolled over Serbian side Vojvodina in the third qualifying round, and we are positive that they will adopt yet another attack-minded approach in Thursday’s football game. Letard has joined the likes of Andrade, Gruber, Lawal, and Monschein in the recovery room.
The Saints, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from the Europa League defeat to Galatasaray. St Johnstone, though, are not regarded as good travelers, which is the main reason why we are tempted to put our money on LASK. It has to be noted that the two teams have never met before in European competitions. Both Bryson and Gilmour are likely to miss the game with injuries for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Alexander Schlager):
Alexander Schlager is an Austrian goalkeeper who plays for LASK in the Austrian Bundesliga. Schalger was born in Salzburg on February 1, 1996, starting his senior career in his hometown club FC Red Bull Salzburg. However, it has to be noted that he spent three years on loan at Lepzig, Grodig and Floridsdorfer before joining LASK Linz in 2017.
Over the years Alexander Schlager has established himself as a first-choice shoot-stopper at die Laskler, but he has yet to make his debut with the Austrian national team. His preferred foot is right and he has a contract with LASK until June 30, 2021. The Austrian goalkeeper made his debut with LASK in the Austrian top flight on May 27, 2018.
Alexander Schlager made 31 appearances for die Laskler in the 2019/2020 Austrian Bundesliga, keeping 13 clean sheets in the process. The 184-cm tall shoot-stopper helped LASK book their place in the 2019/2020 Europa League group stages as well.
Highlighted Team (St Johnstone):
Founded back in 1884, St. Johnstone are Scottish football club that welcome their rivals at McDiarmid Park. The venue, which was opened in August 1989, can hold up to 10,696 spectators. Blue and white are the dominant colours of St Johnstone’s home kit, whereas they wear yellow shirts and white shorts when playing on the road.
The club’s biggest success came in the 2013/2014 season when they defeated Dundee United 2-0 in the Scottish Cup final. Steven Anderson and Steven MacLean scored for the Saints in the match played at Celtic Park, Glasgow. Dundee and Dundee United are the club’s traditional rivals, with the teams facing in the Tayside derbies.
The likes of John Brogan, Joe Carr, Willie Coburn, Roddy Grant, and Henry Hall are the first five members of St Johnston “Hall of Fame.” The Saints recorded their biggest win against Tulloch (13-0) in September 1887, with the team suffering their heaviest defeat to Montrose (11-1) in April 1893.
