Preview
LASK have three points from their first three games, thanks to a 3-2 win at Sporting, and a home game against Slovan Bratislava is their best chance yet to climb the table. Slovan are still looking for their first point: they lost 6-1 at PSG, 3-0 to Stuttgart and 4-0 at Roma, conceding 13 goals in three games. Their domestic form is better, with back-to-back league wins over Trenčín and Podbrezová, but coach Touré said his players tired late on after a run of games. They will also be without striker Kukharevych, and UEFA has banned their away fans from Linz. LASK rested striker Kalajdzic and started captain Horvath on the bench in Saturday's 2-1 win over WSG Tirol with this game in mind, and coach Kühbauer says Kalajdzic will definitely play. Slovan's results in Europe show the gap. We rate LASK to win at 68%.
Slovan have conceded 13 goals in three Champions League games and LASK have saved their key men for this one. LASK to win at 68% is our pick.
