Our prediction for this Europa League match:
LASK
Match Time & Date:
07/11/2019
12:55 PM
Prediction: 2-0
PSV
Since LASK and PSV played out a goalless draw at Phillips Stadion two weeks ago, yet another close game is on the cards at Linzer Stadion. LASK aim to record their second win of the process as they defeated Rosenborg at home in their opener, but Thursday’s football match will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts. The Austrians are still in the race for the domestic trophy, but they have big ambitions for the 2019/2020 Europa League season as well.
Anyhow, since LASK are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we predict that they are going to emerge triumphant in the Linzer Stadion clash. The Dutch outfit, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing to Utrecht (0-3) and AZ Alkmaar (0-4) in the national championship. The visitors are low on confidence ahead of the trip to Austria, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered.
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 (PSV):
Based in Eindhoven, Netherlands, PSV is a professional football club competing the top flight of the Dutch football, Eredivisie. PSV play their home games at the Phillips Stadium which can accommodate 35,000 people.
