🗞️ Team News: Austria Vienna

The Austria Vienna manager Stephan Helm will be grateful not to have any fitness worries to speak of coming into this game owing to a completely injury-free squad available to choose from.

We think that Die Veilchen could employ a 3-4-2-1 system for this one, utilising Samuel Radlinger, Philipp Wiesinger, Johannes Handl, Tin Plavotic, Reinhold Ranftl, Abubakr Barry, Philipp Maybach, Tae-seok Lee, Manfred Fischer, Sanel Saljic and Johannes Eggestein.

📰 Team News: LASK Linz

Thanks to a completely injury-free group ready to go, the LASK Linz boss Dietmar Kühbauer does not have any fitness concerns to report ahead of this match.

It’s our belief that LASK Linz seem most likely to elect for a 5-4-1 system, starting the game with Lukas Jungwirth, Kasper Jørgensen, Xavier Mbuyamba, Alemao, Andrés Andrade, George Bello, Ismaila Coulibaly, Melayro Bogarde, Sascha Horvath, Sasa Kalajdzic and Samuel Adeniran.

🔮 Prediction

Austria Vienna will have their work cut out to hit the back of the net against this LASK Linz lineup who will likely get the win and a maybe even keep a clean sheet as well.

We’re going for a good tussle with a 0-1 winning score for LASK Linz at the conclusion of the game.

Will be interesting to see how this one goes.
