Austria Wien should finish job with a professional display
Austria Wien hold the advantage at 23/100 here with the draw at 26/5 and FK Liepaja the clear outsider in the second leg of their UEFA Conference League Qualification clash at Generali Arena.
The Viennese giants got the better of the Latvian outfit in the first leg with a 2-0 away win that has put them in control of the tie and left them to finish off a home fixture against a side with a limited away record.
Stephan Helm has his Austria Wien side well organised and very adaptable as they play a flexible 3-4-2-1 system with the ability to switch and close down central lanes while also having the speed to counter effectively when the ball is won back.
Liepaja, by contrast, are a direct, wide-based side that Vladimir Vassiljev has moulded into a 4-2-3-1 with a desire to get it forward early and win second-ball contests.
The difference in styles means this match could be won or lost in the box with Liepaja's size and physicality a big factor, but if Austria Wien can win the second balls and defend the box, they should finish the job off.
Liepaja lack experience to stay in touch
Austria Wien are in good form overall with five wins, three draws and two defeats in their last ten. Their home record across all competitions is two wins, two draws and one defeat in five fixtures, conceding just six goals in those games.
Liepaja's form is a bit more patchy with three wins and two defeats in their last five, although the 2-0 home defeat to Austria Wien showed they can be caught when they run out of ideas.
Our main selections here, Over 2.5 goals (47/100) and Both Teams to Score - No (7/10), reflect Austria's ability to control the game and their likelihood of getting a clean sheet.
Fellipe Vieira has scored three of Liepaja's last eight goals in all competitions in the last five matches while Ede Oloko is the club's top scorer in this competition with one goal in three games. Florian Wustinger has one goal in one match in UEFA Conference League Qualification for the hosts, but has been their best player in the final third across the last few games.
