LASK Linz vs Slovan Bratislava Predictions

• LASK have scored three goals in their last two Champions League matches
• The hosts also beat Celtic 5-1 at home in August
• Slovan Bratislava have conceded 3+ goals in each of their last three games in Europe

Back-to-back wins for LASK?

LASK claimed a shock victory in Lisbon against Sporting in the last round of Champions League action, and they are odds-on to follow that up with a home success against Slovan Bratislava.

The visitors have lost three from three in Europe this season, conceding 13 times across defeats against PSG, Stuttgart and Roma. The visitors had to navigate three rounds of qualifying to make it this far, and they are struggling to compete at this level.

The Austrian champions saw off Celtic in qualifying, with a 5-1 home win taking them through to the League Phase. After a 1-0 defeat at AEK Athens, they suffered a 6-3 home defeat against Liverpool.

However, LASK’s prospects of qualifying received a massive boost with their 3-2 victory in Portugal last month. Any chance of them reaching the knockouts relies on them taking care of business against their lowest-ranked home opponent on Tuesday night.

The hosts have already proven capable of scoring at this level, and they enter this clash with three wins from four behind them in all competitions. LASK should pose more problems for a shaky Slovan side, so back the hosts to score another three goals.
