LASK Linz, Recent FormA point gained from their 0-0 draw against Red Bull Salzburg in their previous encounter will not be considered a bad outcome for LASK Linz. Their share of possession in that meeting was 46%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to Red Bull Salzburg, who had 14 shots on goal with 5 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 9 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 9, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have clocked up an impressive run of form in front of goal at Raiffeisen Arena recently, having found the net in 5 of their last 6 home matches. With a defensive record that shows one or more goals given away in 11 of their 12 home matches so far this season, boss Dietmar Kühbauer will not be happy with his squad's capabilities at keeping a clean sheet at home.
Having managed to remain undefeated in 5 of their last 6 home matches at Raiffeisen Arena, they have put together a strong home record of late, winning 3 of these games too.
On an individual basis, Keito Nakamura will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 13 goals in LASK Linz's 25 league games this season.
Rapid Wien, Recent FormRapid Wien were forced to settle for a share of the points in their last league match, which wound up a 3-3 draw against Austria Wien. In that game they had 42% possession and managed 13 attempts on goal, with 9 on target, compared to Austria Wien who had 16 attempts and 6 on target.
Their boss Zoran Barišić is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 13 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 11 goals scored. Up front, they have been showing a certain level of consistency in breaching their opponents' defences, with goals netted in 5 of their last 6 outings. They have not been performing well at all defensively, not delivering a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches.
Their current form can't be viewed positively, having clocked up 3 losses from their last 6 games and only 2 wins to speak of.
Goalscorer Guido Burgstaller will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 5 goals in his last 6 league matches for Rapid Wien.
It was not a positive ending for LASK Linz last time they met Rapid Wien in the league, with the game ending in a 1-0 defeat.
Die Grün-Weißen will be confident of finding the net in this one against Linz, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 12 encounters between the two sides.
In the league, Linz have been unbeaten in their last 3 times they have welcomed The Green-Whites to Raiffeisen Arena.
Christoph Knasmüllner will be looking to get on the scoresheet for The Green-Whites against Linz in this one, having netted 5 goals in the previous 5 encounters between the two.
There is only really one injury concern for the Linz manager Dietmar Kühbauer ahead of this clash, with Tobias Lawal (Foot) missing out, which gives Kühbauer a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
There is only really one injury concern for The Green-Whites manager Zoran Barišić ahead of this clash, with Christoph Dibon (Cruciate ligament) missing out, which gives Barišić a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
