Lask Linz have had a rough run lately, losing three of their last five matches, though they did manage a wild draw where both teams scored plenty. Rapid Vienna are struggling even more, with four losses in their last five games, including some heavy defeats where they conceded a lot of goals. Neither team comes into this looking sharp or confident.

When these two have met recently, the games have often produced plenty of goals, and this one could follow the same pattern since both defenses have been leaking. The match looks quite close, but Lask Linz have a slight edge playing at home and have shown a bit more fight, so they are the more likely side to come out on top or at least avoid defeat.
