- Competition: Bundesliga, Relegation Group
- Date: Friday, 23rd May, 2025
- Kickoff: 18:30 UK / 19:30 CEST
- Venue: Raiffeisen Arena (Linz)
LASK have recently been among the best few teams in Austria in most seasons. Unfortunately, this season, they weren't at an expected level and ended up in the relegation group and were also bad in the Conference League, winning only three points in six rounds. However, they secured the Europa Conference League Playoffs from the relegation group, considering they finished as by far the best team there by winning 37 points - nine points from the next best team, Hartberg. In this game, like in the previous few, they are without a motive and could rest players to keep them fresh for the Conference League Playoffs game against Hartberg.
Altach, on the other hand, is a team that has pretty much constantly been among the worst teams in the Bundesliga but managed to secure survival. This year, Altach are once again fighting for survival, but they find themselves in a difficult position - currently sitting 11th in the table with 17 points, just one point ahead of bottom-placed Austria Klagenfurt, and the looming threat of relegation to the 2. Liga. Unlike LASK, Altach have everything to play for in this match, as a loss could cost them their survival. Their opponent for survival, A. Klagenfurt, will face off against Hartberg, another team without a motive in the last game of the regular season.
LASK vs Altach pick: Under 2.5 goals
LASK are in bad form, winning one point in two games against Grazer AK and Hartberg. They even failed to score in those matches, and considering they will not have a motive in this game, we do not think they will offer a much better offensive display.
Altach are playing pretty poorly for a while now, winning just once in the last seven matches. They especially struggled away from home, losing three in a row and failing to score as well. If we look further back, Altach scored one or zero goals in 12 out of 16 road games - 75%.
In the previous h2h game, LASK won 2:0 in a match without too many chances. Now, considering all the above, we believe that an under 2.5 goals bet should be the safest option for this Bundesliga tie.
