This clash for round 6 of the Austria Bundesliga League will take place at the Raiffeisen Arena and features a matchup between LASK Linz and Austria Lustenau. The home club will come into this match undefeated in their previous five matches, while the visiting side, Austria Lustenau, has not yet won any of their first five matches in the league.

Branko Jovii was the only player for LASK Linz to get his name on the scoresheet when he scored in the 52nd minute. Zrinjski Mostar, the team they were playing against, had six shots on goal, with only one of them being on target. The goal for Zrinjski Mostar was scored by Nemanja Bilbija in the 38th minute.

According to their stats ahead of this match, LASK Linz have not suffered a defeat at the hands of Austria Lustenau in any of their previous six games played in the league. Furthermore, they have not suffered a defeat in any of their past four home league encounters.

Austria Lustenau will be coming into this match with the intention of turning things around after suffering a loss in their previous match in Bundesliga action against Altach. During that match, Austria Lustenau had 57% of the ball and 10 shots on goal, with only 2 of those shots finding the target. Domenik Schierl scored an own goal for Austria Lustenau in the second minute, making him the only player to score for them. 19 shots were taken at the goal by Altach, but only 8 were on target. Altach got their first goal in the 25th minute from Christian Gebauer, while their second goal in the 56th minute came from Paul-Friedrich Koller. In the previous six matches that Austria Lustenau has participated in, their team has scored a total of 20 goals, which results in an average of 3.33 goals scored in each contest. There have been nine of these goals scored by opposing teams. Looking at their stats, Austria Lustenau have not been successful against LASK Linz when they have competed against each other on the road in the league's three most recent matches. In addition to that, they have not been defeated in any of their most recent eight league matches played away from home. In addition, the away team has failed to win any of their last five league matches played away from home.

The head-to-head (H2H) history between LASK Linz and Austria Lustenau is fairly strong. Over the course of the last four seasons, the two teams have squared off 16 times, with LASK Linz coming out on top 11 times and Austria Lustenau taking home three victories. There were two of those games that finished in ties. IIn the head-to-head matchups between the two teams, LASK Linz scored 30 goals, while Austria Lustenau only managed to score 18 goals.

This should be another nightmare for Austria Lustenau, and this is definitely a day she does not want to remember. Even though the home team is not particularly strong, they have consistently dominated teams with less ability. In addition, Austria Lustenau have not yet found their stride, and I do not believe that this will be an opportunity for them to turn things around in a positive direction given LASK's quality. As a result, I am anticipating a victory at home given that LASK Linz appears to be in slightly better form here. Also, taking into account how the away team has been performing defensively, I believe that they will concede two to three goals in this match, which is why I will be betting on the over.
