LASK vs Royal Union SG Prediction and Betting Tips | November 9th 2023
LASK Linz and Royal Union SG will battle for three points in a UEFA Europa League clash on Thursday.
The home side will be looking to build on their comfortable 3-1 victory over Sturm Graz at the same venue in the Austrian Bundesliga on Sunday. Robert Zulj had an eventful game that saw him provide first-half assists on either side of a penalty miss. The 31-year-old made amends by confirming the result with a goal in injury time.
Royal Union, meanwhile, claimed maximum points in a 2-1 home win over Club Brugge in the Jupiler League. Mohamed Amoura scored a brace, with his goals coming either side of Maxim De Cuyper's consolation to guide his side to victory.
Les Unionistes will channel their attention to the continent, where their last game saw them come from behind to claim all three points in a last-gasp 2-1 home win over LASK.
The win saw them climb into second spot in Group E with four points to their name. LASK are bottom of the standings on three points.
