Showdown between LASK Linz - Wattens! Even with mixed fortunes up until now, this match could be awesome!

Insights:
  • LASK Linz have won at least twice as many corners as they have conceded.
  • Wattens have the most conceded goals (42) in Admiral Bundesliga

There have been little to rest for the home side, as they performed in a Europa Conference League fixture only three days ago. That game was an away game at Slavia Praha, so at least LASK are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

LASK Linz form and stats

When playing at home in the Admiral Bundesliga, LASK Linz have managed 3 wins, 4 draws and suffered 4 defeats from 11 games. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.

The striker Balić was named "man of the match" for LASK Linz with the rating of 7.44/10. Balić scored one goal and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

A Admiral Bundesliga defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Wolfsberger AC.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Slavia Praha are coming to town in four days.
