The favorite for the title receives the LASK analysis

Free soccer predictions

The betting providers see Tottenham Hotspur as the favorite to win the title in the Europa League. At the beginning, the club from London will have to deal with what is probably the strongest group opponent, the LASK. The guests reached the round of 16 of the competition last season but only won 2 of their last 6 away games. The hosts from England have been unbeaten in 9 competitive games and recently presented themselves particularly well in the first half of the game. For this reason we prefer the tip that Tottenham will win the 1st half against LASK.

Tottenham’s first EL participation in 4 years

Through the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur qualified for the Champions League 4 times in a row. Due to the 6th place in the past season, the team of coach Jose Mourinho missed the highest European club competition this year. The "Spurs" even had to compete in the Europa League qualification. There they prevailed against Lokomotive Plovdiv, KF Shkendija and Maccabi Haifa. Because of the successful qualification they are now in the group stage of the Europa League. The bookmakers call them favorites to win the title. But there is still a long way to go before then. In group J, the club from London will meet LASK, FC Antwerp and Ludogorez Rasgrad. Mourinho will probably spare some Premier League regulars in the group stage.

Can LASK reach the second round again?

Due to strong national placements, the LASK has reached the European competition in recent years. In the 2018/2019 season, the club from Upper Austria failed in the Europa League qualification against Besiktas Istanbul. A season later, the "Laskler" were then directly qualified for the group stage of the competition and even reached the round of 16, where they were then eliminated by Manchester United.

This season they reached the group stage with a successful qualification against Dunajska Streda and Sporting Lisbon. Then ASK from Linz got a group with Tottenham Hotspur, FC Antwerp and Ludogorez Rasgrad. There the betting providers see Linz in 2nd place. With this rank, the Austrians would qualify for the next round of the competition.

Only one season defeat for LASK

LASK got off to a good start to the season after the Upper Austrian club parted ways with coach Valerien Ismael before the season started and signed Dominik Thalhammer as his successor. The "Laskler" lost only one competitive game this season and that was the last away game at Rapid Vienna.

Free soccer tips

Apart from the 2 victories in the Europa League qualification, LASK also had 2 clear victories in the cup and 2 wins and 1 draw in the Tipico Bundesliga. In the domestic league, the "Laskler" are currently in 5th place in the table. They are more likely to be assessed in their own stadium than in a foreign country. Away they won only 2 of the last 6 competitive games. In the second half, ASK from Linz was last stronger than in the first 45 minutes. In the last 3 games, LASK was only able to win one first half.

Betting tip and forecast

Due to the significantly higher quality in the squad and home rights, Tottenham Hotspur is the clear favorite against LASK on Thursday. Since the odds on an easy win are not very worthwhile, we recommend the tip that the "Spurs" will win the first half. They have been unbeaten in 9 games and decided 5 of the last 6 first halves in their favor.

On the other hand, LASK could only win 2 of the last 6 away games and only won one of the last 3 first 45 minutes. As an alternative bet we see the tip on over 2.5 goals. Tottenham currently has the most dangerous offensive in the Premier League, but also has to accept goals again and again. LASK scored 17 goals in the last 5 competitive games.

Three Austrian teams are represented in the UEFA Europa League group stage this season. The first game day is all about the duel "London against the Austrian Bundesliga”.

For the LASK players, it is the second trip to England in a very short time after the previous EL season ended at Manchester United’s Old Trafford. The Upper Austrians have the chance to overwinter again, but normally there should be nothing to gain from the Mourinho-Elf.

Tottenham:

After the Spurs reached a top four position in the English Premier League four times in a row, the Mourinho-Elf had to be content with sixth place in the table last season. As a result, Tottenham not only missed the premier class, but also had to survive three qualifying rounds before participation in the group stage was fixed.

For the first time since the 2015/16 season, Spurs are back in the group stage of the Europa League and can look back on impressive numbers in their home games. Tottenham has played 15 home games so far and only suffered one defeat, twelve games have been victorious and points have only been shared twice.

In view of these numbers, the prognosis for the home side between Tottenham and LASK is absolutely obvious. However, the fact that the Spurs have not yet been able to convince in the new White Hart Lane Stadium gives LASK hope. Since moving into the brand new stadium, Tottenham celebrated only three wins in seven home games, the 2: 7 defeat against eventual winners Bayern Munich was particularly bitter.

Speaking of bitter – that was also the closing phase last weekend. After a furious start in the derby against West Ham, the Mourinho team quickly took the lead 3-0, but in the last ten minutes Tottenham actually gambled away the victory and conceded the equalizer from the "Goal of the Year” category in minutes 90 + 4 .

The Welshman Gareth Bale was back for the Spurs for the first time, he was substituted on in the 72nd minute. He could celebrate his starting XI comeback against LASK.

LASK:

Last season, the Linz team impressed over long stretches with cheeky attacking football and extremely high pressing. The LASK was a serious competitor for the bulls nationally and also caused a sensation internationally. In the finish, however, the club ran out of air and as fourth in the table, the direct EL ticket was lost.

Once again, LASK was able to convince abroad. Nevertheless, at the start of the group between Tottenham and LASK, a successful tip on countable things would be surprising for the underdog.

Dominik Thalhammer has been in charge at LASK since the end of last season. The former coach of the women’s national team was viewed with skepticism in many places and after the catastrophic preparation there was early criticism. With the start of the competitive games, however, LASK has caught up and is back in its usual shape.

Despite a defeat in the last Bundesliga game (0: 3 against Rapid Vienna), LASK can look back on a strong start to the season.

What is striking is once again the enormous strength in standards, which enables LASK to score several goals.
