LDLDWL

LASK Linz will be hoping for a better result following the 1-0 Bundesliga loss in their previous game against Sturm Graz.

In that game, LASK Linz had 54% possession and 8 shots at goal with 3 on target. For their opponents, Sturm Graz got 12 shots at goal with 4 of them on target. Alexander Prass (20') scored for Sturm Graz.

An interesting feature of more recent LASK Linz games is the number of nil scores.

Taking their prior sextet of matches before this one, in as many as 6 of them a bet on "Both Teams to Score" would've been a losing one. Having said that, time will tell whether such a trend shall persist in this match.
