LASK can strengthen their hold on a knockout play-off place when they welcome Slovan Bratislava to the Raiffeisen Arena on Tuesday 3 November 2026. Kick-off is at 20:00 UK time in League phase matchday 4 of the UEFA Champions League.
Table and form
LASK are 24th in the league-phase table with three points from three games, one win and a goal difference of -3. Ninth to 24th go into the knockout play-offs, so the Austrians currently occupy the last of those places.
Slovan Bratislava are 36th and last. They have played three, lost three and have no points. Their goal difference is -12, the worst in the table.
LASK's results are mixed. They won 3-2 at Sporting, lost 6-3 at home to Liverpool and lost 1-0 at AEK Athens. Slovan have been beaten 6-1 at PSG, 3-0 at home by Stuttgart and 4-0 at Roma.
The numbers that matter
Both sides have leaked goals, but the gap in attack is wide.
- Goals per game: LASK 2, Slovan Bratislava 0.33
- Conceded per game: LASK 3, Slovan Bratislava 4.33
- Points per game: LASK 1, Slovan Bratislava 0
- Clean sheets: none for either side
- Yellow cards: LASK 8, Slovan Bratislava 5
LASK have scored six goals in three matches. Slovan have managed one, and they have shipped 13. Neither team has kept a clean sheet, so LASK should expect to create chances. They will also know their own defence has conceded nine in three.
LASK have collected more bookings, with eight yellow cards to Slovan's five.
Head-to-head and prediction
There is no recent head-to-head record between the clubs. The meeting in Linz is, as far as our records show, a fresh contest with no recent history to lean on.
What both teams have in common is a difficult start against strong opposition. LASK have at least turned one of those games into a win. Slovan have yet to score more than once in a match, and have failed to score in two of their three games.
For LASK, a win would build on their play-off position at a stage when every point shapes the final standings. For Slovan, the aim is simpler: to get off the mark and stop the goals going in at the other end.
MFF's match model prediction is a 2-1 win for LASK. It gives the hosts a 67% chance of victory, with a 17% chance of a draw and a 16% chance of a Slovan Bratislava win.
