Venue (City, Stadium) | Linz, Raiffeisen Arena |
LASK Linz host Liverpool at the Raiffeisen Arena in the Champions League, and the LASK Linz vs Liverpool betting odds lean hard toward the visitors. That reads right to us.
LASK are in the Champions League for the first time after a stunning comeback against Celtic, but a narrow defeat at AEK Athens in Greece brought them back to earth.
Liverpool beat Atlético Madrid 2-1 at Anfield in the Champions League, then got flattened at home by Manchester City on Sunday. The Reds arrive bruised, not broken.
The Liverpool boss has flagged rotation in a crowded schedule and called Champions League away games "never easy," while LASK badly need something to stop the slide.
LASK Linz vs Liverpool Recent Results
LASK's slump runs across both fronts. After the narrow loss in Greece, they picked up one point from a possible nine in the Austrian Bundesliga, capped by a home defeat to Rapid Wien. That left them winless in four across all competitions, with Christoph Lang a steady source of goal involvements and not much else clicking.
Liverpool's form is a split screen. In Europe, they edged Atlético Madrid. At home in the Premier League, Manchester City handed them a 3-0 loss after Ryan Gravenberch was sent off. The Reds have won 3 of their last 10 games against all opponents, so this is not a squad rolling downhill right now.

Liverpool
Dominik Szoboszlai is a heavy doubt after missing Sunday's game against Manchester City. Ryan Gravenberch's red card from the Premier League does not rule him out here, and Rio Ngumoha is in line to start out wide.

LASK Linz vs Liverpool Prediction & Best Picks
Our Prediction
Our LASK Linz vs Liverpool prediction is a comfortable Liverpool win. The Reds carry a 66.5% implied probability against an injury-hit LASK side that has struggled to create. Even with Szoboszlai doubtful, Florian Wirtz and Alexis Mac Allister give the visitors control in midfield, and LASK's attack has not shown enough lately to trouble Virgil van Dijk.
Best Picks
Under 3.5 in the Total Goals Over/Under market. The model projects about 3.0 goals, which sits under the 3.5 line. That makes it the first of our LASK Linz vs Liverpool best picks, in the Total Goals Over/Under market. Liverpool carry the bulk of the projected goals at 2.15, while LASK's attack projects under one goal, so the total stays capped even if the Reds get going. The value numbers across several books back it up.
No in the Both Teams To Score market. LASK are projected under one goal, so Liverpool keeping a clean sheet is a live possibility. This pick lives in the Both Teams To Score market. LASK carry just a 14% implied probability of winning in the projections, and their attack has offered little lately. The read on a goal for each side is a close 51.6%, so treat this as a value play rather than a strong lean.
LASK Linz vs Liverpool Same Game Parlay
Our LASK Linz vs Liverpool same game parlay picks back Liverpool on the Moneyline, Lewis Koumas to score, a goal for each side and Daniel Elfadli to be carded.
Liverpool on the Moneyline is the anchor. The visitors carry a 67% implied probability in the AI projections, and LASK have given little reason to doubt it lately.
Lewis Koumas in the Anytime Goalscorer market makes sense with the forward in line to lead Liverpool's line. His 48.39% AI probability is strong for a scorer prop.
Yes in the Both Teams To Score market is the swing leg. Liverpool just conceded three at home to Manchester City, and this one is close to a coin flip.
Daniel Elfadli in the To Be Shown A Card market rounds it out. The defensive demands of this matchup open a path into the referee's book and add real price.
At the time of writing, this Same Game Parlay pays a best price of +1700 and is as short as +1200 elsewhere. That's a difference in potential winnings of $50 from best to worst price.

LASK Linz vs Liverpool Talking Points
The big question is Liverpool's front line. The Liverpool boss says he has "100% trust" in Florian Wirtz and Bradley Barcola despite the scrutiny over their goal output, and with Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitiké injured, those two and Lewis Koumas carry the load. For LASK, the Celtic comeback proved this group can produce a big night, but stopping a side with Liverpool's quality is a very different ask.
