Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
LASK will be aiming to put an end to their four-game losing run in all competitions when they face Vikingur Reykjavik on Matchday 6. LASK experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 7-0 loss to Fiorentina, but they are still seen as favourites to beat Vikingur in front of home fans. The good news for the hosts is that goalkeeper Jorg Siebenhandl is back from suspension, while all Usor, Ziereis, Pintor, Ljubic, Boateng, and Andrade have been struggling with injuries of late.
The Icelanders, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Djurgarden, but seeing that LASK are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Markus Schopp’s troops. Midfielder Aron Elis Thrandarson is rated doubtful for the visiting side after limping off with injury in the last Conference League game.
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.
