LASK has 6 points after 4 matches. The Austrians are in the 3rd position. They still may be in the 1/16 finals, but for this they need to take 3 points in the upcoming game. In addition, they need to score 3 points in the 6th round against Ludogorets as well. At the same time, it would be very good for the Austrians if opponents lost points in parallel matches. In 4 rounds Dominik Talhammer’s charges scored only 5 goals and conceded 8. They had only 1 dry match. In addition, in 3 matches out of 4 a bet was recorded on “both will score – no”. In the last round LASK lost 0:2 to Antwerp at home. In fact, this defeat was somewhat unexpected. Before this misfire, the Austrians lost only 1 time in 9 matches (in the LE). It is noteworthy that the defeat was at Manchester United. Gernot Trauner and Marko Raguz will definitely not appear on the field. Lukas Grgic is still in question.
Unlike their current rival, Chelsea started the national championship good. After 10 rounds Frank Lampard’s team is third in the Premier League. The retirees are just two points behind the leader of Tottenham and in the last round they had an excellent opportunity to overcome this handicap, but the Spurs kept a goalless draw at Stamford Bridge. In the Champions League Chelsea was initially considered the favorite of their group and in four rounds this status was fully justified. The retirees have already reached the playoffs. It remains only to keep the first line.
