Everything you need to know about LASK

Our opponents, LASK, are currently top of the Austrian Bundesliga having lost just twice in the league this campaign.

LASK were one of six clubs to make their Europa League group-stage debut in 2019/20, and, along with Wolverhampton Wanderers, are one of two such sides still left in the tournament.

If you’re not up to date with the latest information about Thursday’s opponents, we’ve got you covered…

STADIUM INFO

The White-Blacks play home league games at the 8,000-capacity Raiffeisen Arena in Pasching, but LASK host Europa League matches at the larger Linzer Stadion, which can accomodate up to 21,000 fans. However, Thursday’s match will be played behind closed doors, following guidance from the Austrian government.

TEAM NEWS

LASK will be without defenders Philip Wiesinger and Petar Filipovic for Thursday’s clash, with the pair both suspended. The former was sent off during their last Europa League outing, while Filipovic has earned a one-game ban for picking up three bookings so far in the competition. On the injury front, left-back Marvin Potzmann is unavailable after rupturing his cruciate ligament earlier this month, while Thomas Goiginger suffered the same issue during LASK’s 1-0 win over Mattersburg last weekend. Winger Husein Balic is also a doubt with a muscular problem.
