Grazer AK
Two teams heading into this match in contrasting form.
LASK have been impressive recently, winning four of their last five matches and losing only once. In stark contrast, Grazer AK are without a win in their last five outings, highlighting their struggles.
The points gap between them underlines the difference in quality LASK currently sit on 18 points in the next phase of the Austrian Bundesliga, exactly double that of Grazer’s 9. This puts the home side in a strong position to push for a spot in next season’s Conference League playoffs.
LASK’s performance is expected to be the key factor in this encounter. They boast a more balanced and experienced squad, having competed in the Conference League this season, and their overall quality should shine through.
Grazer, on the other hand, have looked vulnerable especially away from home. They've lost six of their last ten away matches, with a worrying goal difference of 14:25. That kind of form makes it difficult to see them causing an upset here.
What we say
LASK to Win
The last head-to-head meeting between these two sides ended in a 4–2 victory for LASK, showing that while Grazer have the attacking capability to score, their defensive weaknesses especially against stronger opposition are hard to ignore. Their away record against the top six teams in the Austrian Bundesliga has been poor, including a 2-1 loss to Austria Vienna, a 5-2 defeat to Sturm Graz, and a 3-0 loss to Rapid Vienna.
Given these results, it’s clear that this match is firmly in LASK’s hands, especially with home advantage and momentum on their side.
