LASK Linz vs Austria Klagenfurt Prediction: LASK have to make a statement win

At Raiffeisen Arena, LASK Linz will play Austria Klagenfurt in the round of the Austria Bundesliga League. Below, I will look into the previews of this game and make predictions. 

LASK Linz are coming off a European Conference League game against Djurgarden, and this team settled for a draw. In a match that ended 2-2, LASK Linz saw a two-goal lead overturned by their opponent, with Valon Berisha and Florian Flecker scoring for this team. However, the home team's last league game was against Rapid Wien, and LASK Linz also settled for a draw, ending 1-1. Heading into this game, LASK Linz have not had much luck in the league this season as they sit 11th in the standings with 7 points. 

The visiting team played Grazer AK last weekend and secured a 0-1 win. In that encounter, Jannick Robatsch's lone strike in the 34th minute was the difference, securing maximum points for Austria Klagenfurt. However, prior encounters to this game saw Austria Klagenfurt lose only one game, coming against Domzale in a friendly encounter, while they also drew Hartberg. In the meantime, this team secured wins in three other games, coming against Tirol, BW Linz, and ASV Siegendorf. This season in the Austria Bundesliga, Austria Klagenfurt have accumulated 11 points from 7 matches, which positions them in the 6th spot. 

Austria Klagenfurt's performance is not convincing enough, and the road team will need to do better if they hope to take a point in this fixture. On the other hand, LASK Linz, coming off consecutive draws, will not have it easy at home either, but looking at their record in this fixture, the home team does have a very good chance of winning. Looking at the two teams playing into this game, I feel this will be an open encounter, with both teams having a chance to attack. Therefore, a win for the home team should be the primary option, and we can expect goals from the two sides.
