LASK are in brilliant form, winning four of their four matches with an aggregate score of 12-1, and displaying high-level attacking football, sensationally qualifying for the Champions League group stage with a win over Celtic in the second leg. Wolfsberger, despite being inferior in quality, are playing quite boldly at home: 67% of their home matches this season have seen over 2.5 goals scored. However, the hosts' defense is far from ideal, giving the visitors a chance to realize their scoring potential.
The head-to-head statistics also confirm the trend toward high-scoring football. On average, 2.84 goals are scored per game in head-to-head matches, and four of the five have seen over 3 goals scored, with both teams also trading goals. Given LASK's current scoring record and the hosts' penchant for open football, a clean sheet is unlikely.
LASK is averaging three goals per game this season, and it's unlikely Wolfsberger will be able to contain their onslaught throughout the entire game. At the same time, playing at home allows the hosts to create chances, increasing the likelihood of a successful outcome.
