LASK
Current Form
Last season, LASK performed notably well in the Austrian league, finishing third behind Sturm and Salzburg. This achievement allowed the Linz club to qualify for the final round of the Europa League qualifying, but they were unable to progress further, losing to the Romanian side FCSB (1-1 and 0-1). Their performance in the Austrian league this season has not been ideal, as LASK currently sits near the bottom of the table.
