Side with the visitors
The draw odds of 3.55 are way too big for this game, as are Austria's 3.6 when LASK are the odds-on favorite at 1.95, but LASK's 3 wins from the last 5 H2Hs makes this a game for the visitors.
LASK have won 3 of the clubs last 5 meetings, including a 3-0 win away at Austria Wien 2 months ago in the Bundesliga Championship Group 2026, and Austria have failed to win either of their last 2 home games against them.
