Austria Wien
- Austria Wien have won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five games.
- The home side have won six, drawn three and lost six of their 15 home Bundesliga Championship Group matches this term, so there are certainly concerns for them to address at this ground.
LASK Linz
- LASK Linz are unbeaten in five games (W4, D1) heading into Sunday’s game.
- LASK Linz are the most in-form team in the Bundesliga Championship Group 2026 with four straight wins coming into this, including a 2-1 victory at home to Red Bull Salzburg and a 3-1 victory away at Rapid Wien.
Head-to-Head
LASK Linz have won this fixture twice and drawn once over the last three head-to-head meetings, with Austria Wien failing to win any of those games.
Key Players
The best chance of success for this side in the Championship Group will be through the work rate of Kelvin Boateng , who is their main outlet in forward areas.
- He has scored three times in seven Bundesliga Championship Group games, including two in his last five appearances.
- Moses Usor is the most dangerous man they have up front with five goals in nine Bundesliga Championship Group appearances, a threat that Austria Wien will have to keep in check.
- LASK Linz’s boss Dietmar Kuehbauer has turned this team into a side that plays at a high tempo with an intensity in their pressing that makes them dangerous on the counter-attack, particularly on the break.
