Match Preview
LASK Linz take on Vikingur Reykjavik hoping to stay in the contest as slim qualifiers in the Conference League. The Austrians have, so far been quite poor in the competition, very nearly eliminated as well, while a win over the Icelandic representatives will extend their chances but minimally so.
On the other hand, it is a relatively stronger situation for the guests, coached by the former Bolton Wanderers manager, as an eventual draw could guarantee at least a playoff position to the Icelandic team. And, entering this game with a healthier squad, there is only one casualty following an injury to Pablo Punyed.
### Team News
- LASK Linz: They have a number of players ruled out, including Ibrahim Mustapha, Andres Andrade, and Tomas Tavares, with a couple of doubts over the fitness of Lenny Pintor, Moses Usor, and Philipp Ziereis.
- Vikingur Reykjavik: With a fitter squad overall, the only injury absentee for Vikingur is Pablo Punyed with a knee injury.
Win Probability
- LASK Linz: 54.9%
- Vikingur Reykjavik: 21%
Possible Outcomes
This is a crucial win that LASK need in order to be in the playoff spots. However, their poor record on the road may give them issues.
Vikingur would need just one point to confirm a position in the playoffs and therefore will hope to capitalize on any host mistakes.
