Austria enters the match in terrible form, suffering a crushing 3-0 defeat to Wolfsberger 04 in the first round, which has surely seriously undermined their confidence. LASK, meanwhile, got off to a strong start, crushing Grazer AK 3-0, and is on an impressive winning streak, winning eight of their last 10 matches.
Their head-to-head record also favors the visitors. In their last encounter, LASK crushed Austria 3-0 on their home field, and their overall record over the last 10 matches shows LASK winning five games compared to just two for Austria. Considering LASK's winning spirit, which recently won the Austrian Cup, and Austria's complete failure, a victory for the visitors is the most logical and reasonable bet.
