Altach have some bite up front
LASK attack
LASK have been a fast, attacking and high-pressing force to beat so far this season in Austria. Dietmar Kühbauer's side play from the back three, are relentless in their pressing, high tempo and drive forward with numbers on the attack.
They've won their 2 Bundesliga 2026/2027 home games, scoring 7 goals, but their recent three outings have been a 2-0 away win at Austria Wien, a 4-1 home win over SV Ried and a 3-0 defeat away to Celtic in UEFA Champions League qualification.
Key players
- Samuel Adeniran is the main threat for LASK Linz, scoring 4 times in 3 Bundesliga 2026/2027 games, with Christoph Lang having 5 in the last 5, when LASK scored 13.
- Ousmane Diawara has netted once in 4 Bundesliga 2026/2027 matches to top score for Altach, while Niklas Niehoff has 2 assists in 4 as the creative focal point for Rheindörfler.
- Yann Massombo has scored twice in Altach's last 5, accounting for half of their 4 goals in that run.
LASK to dominate, but Altach can score
Ognjen Zaric has set his Altach team up in a compact 3-4-3 formation this season that folds into a 5-4-1 when out of possession. They aim to absorb pressure and win the ball, then spring forwards on the break.
They've lost both of their away games in the Bundesliga 2026/2027, failing to score in both, and come into this matchup with a 2-match losing streak that includes a 1-0 away defeat to Sturm Graz and a 1-2 home loss to Hartberg.
LASK should have the edge in this matchup, but Altach have a solid structure and can score on the counter. Over 2.5 goals at 1.7 suits the home side's firepower and both teams to score at 1.7 looks good considering the visitors will try to push forward as the game goes on.
