LASK Linz: Recent Form
LASK Linz’s form is more mixed: two wins, one draw and three losses from their last six (form: W L L W D L), worth 1.17 points per game. They have scored 13 and conceded 14 in that span, with one clean sheet and one match in which they failed to score. One of those six fixtures, a 2-1 win over First Vienna FC 1894, was a friendly rather than a competitive match, so it sits apart from the Austrian Bundesliga and Champions League results that make up the rest of the run. Their most recent result was a 4-0 win at SC Austria Lustenau, coming after a 3-6 home defeat to Liverpool in the Champions League.
