LASK vs Liverpool F.C. Prediction 21 September 2023

On Thursday, Linz will host the first-round match of the Europa League, in which local LASK will test their strength against the backdrop of the formidable Liverpool.

This season, LASK suffered only one defeat in ten meetings, and prior to that, they confidently dealt with Austria Lustenau (2:0) and Austria Klagenfurt (3:1). In addition to the current third place in the league, the Black and Whites performed well in the Europa League qualifying, leaving Zrinjski out of the tournament - 2:1 and 1:1.

For a long time, Liverpool have been regulars in the decisive rounds of the Champions League, but after finishing fifth in the English Premier League, they will compete in a lower-ranked competition. It should be noted that the Reds are also third on the national stage, and last weekend they won a strong-willed 3:1 victory over Wolverhampton.

It is unlikely that Liverpool will send out their first squad for this match, but even in this state they are an order of magnitude stronger than LASK. However, due to the English problems in defense, we expect goals scored from both sides.
