LASK vs Liverpool Prediction & Betting Tips (21 September)

The Austrians are off to a good start to the season, with 14 points collected in 7 championship matches, reaching 3rd place, already far behind leader Salzburg and their runner-up Sturm Graz. After its 3rd place last year, Linz had to go through a qualifying round against the Bosnians of Zrinjski, against whom the task was complicated 3-2 on aggregate.

Lask Linz lost their key player Keito Nakamura, who left for Reims for 12 million euros, without necessarily strengthening with big arrivals. But the team leaves almost the same and it works rather well, in particular with the presence of the experienced captain Zulj who spent time in the Bundesliga, the very prolific young Ljubicic (12 goals in 28 games last year) or the attacking full-back on loan via Leipzig, Sanoussy Ba. Among the absentees, we find Lenny Pintor, who played for St Etienne in particular, but also Taoui, former Bastia player, injured. The Austrians Anselm and Wiesinger are also injured and will miss this crucial match. Liverpool have done a lot of cleaning up in midfield, with the departures of Fabinho, Henderson, Keita, Oxlade and even Milner. But 4 huge arrivals compensate for these departures and even strengthen a midfielder that has recently been losing momentum: Gravenberch, Szobozslai, Endo and MacAllister.

Besides that, it's pretty well stocked with Diaz and Jota who are back in great shape, Salah and Nunez who are regaining their splendor, Gakpo who is starting to adapt, and the sure values ​​Van Dijk, Alisson, Robertson... Two players are on the other hand uncertain, namely Alexander-Arnold and Thiago.
