Prediction: 2-1
LASK
The sparkles will be flying when Zrinjski and LASK lock horns at Stadion pod Bijelim Brijegom in the Europa League playoffs, return leg. LASK won the first leg 2-1 and the Austrians are now on a quest to defend their slim lead. All Anselm, Taoui, and Wiesinger should miss out with injuries, while a man to watch in the visiting team will be experienced midfielder Robert Zulj, who has found his goal-scoring touch of late.
The Bosnian outfit, on the other hand, rolled over Breidablik 6-2 in their last home game in the process, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of LASK. Since Zrinjski are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. A man to keep an eye on in the home side will be experienced forward Nemanja Bilbija, who scored a hat-trick in a 5-3 win over Zvijezda 09.
Highlighted Player (Filip Stojkovic ):
Following a successful spell with Serbian giants Crvena Zvezda, Montenegro full-back Filip Stojkovic joined Rapid Wien in 2019.

Nowadays the pacey full-back plays for both Rapid Wien and the Montenegro national team.
He made his debut for the national team in a 1-0 loss to Turkey in 2016. Since Stojkovic is a footballer of Serbian descent, he has eight caps for the Serbia U21 team. The Rapid Wien defender wears the No. 22 shirt at the Austrian club.
