Austria Wien
- This fixture is a classic clash of possession against transition, with Austria Wien's Stephan Helm setting his men up in a flexible 3-at-the-back system that plays on controlled possession and patiently overloads through the half-spaces.
- Austria Wien are enjoying a good run of form, coming into this fixture having won 4 of their last 5 fixtures in all current competitions.
LASK Linz
- LASK Linz will travel to the Generali Arena on Sunday as the odds-on favorites to claim the win against FK Austria Wien, but the home side are in strong form themselves and the value on LASK or draw with over 1.5 goals could prove a smart play here.
- But Dietmar Kuehbauer has his LASK men playing faster and more vertically, aggressively pressing and transitioning through the wings quickly, so they could punish the hosts if they get caught out in their build-up play.
Head-to-Head
- However, their latest game was a 3-0 defeat away to Wolfsberger AC in the Bundesliga 2026/2027, so there's a good chance Austria won't be sharp enough to take the victory this weekend.
- LASK have won 1 of 1 away games so far in the Bundesliga 2026/2027, and they're going up against an Austria side that have won their last 2 home games, so we're backing a competitive, goal-laden affair.
- LASK are the overall favorite to top the Bundesliga 2026/2027 after 1 game and 3 points, while Austria Wien sit 11th with 0 points from 1 game.
- LASK have won 3 of the last 5 meetings between these sides, with Austria Wien taking 1 and the other ending level.
- LASK also defeated Austria Wien 3-0 away in this game 2 months ago in the Bundesliga Championship Group 2026, with the hosts failing to win either of the 2 meetings here.
Key Players
- Johannes Eggestein has been on fire for Austria Wien with 4 goals in his last 5 appearances.
