A demanding European test awaits LASK on Wednesday evening as Premier League giants Liverpool make the trip to Austria.
The hosts return to Champions League business after a disappointing domestic defeat against Rapid Wien, while Liverpool arrive in Austria after suffering a heavy 3:0 home defeat against Manchester City.
Liverpool possess considerably greater quality in the final third and should be confident of getting back to winning form.

LASK team overview
LASK return to European action looking to bounce back from a 2:0 home defeat against Rapid Wien in the Austrian Bundesliga on Sunday.
Second-half goals from Guido Burgstaller and Claudy Mbuyi secured a deserved road win for the Vienna-based side.
That defeat extended LASK's winless run to four competitive matches.
The Austrians also began their made Champions League campaign with a 1:0 loss against AEK Athens while they leaked eight goals during their four-game winless sequence.
A lack of experience at this level could prove an issue for LASK, even if they face a Liverpool side weakened by several attacking injuries.
Head coach Kuhbauer could make changes after Sunday's demanding contest, with Moses Usor, Samuel Adeniran and Alessandro Schopf among those pushing for recalls.
The hosts are unable to call on Ramiz Harakate who remains sidelined with a knee injury.
Christoph Lang should retain his place after scoring five goals in his first seven league appearances.

Liverpool team overview
Liverpool travel to Austria after slipping to a disappointing 3:0 home defeat against Manchester City in their most recent fixture.
Ryan Gravenberch's second-half dismissal proved decisive at Anfield. After a goalless hour, Erling Haaland, Jeremy Doku and Rayan Cherki scored after the interval as the Reds suffered their first league defeat of the season.
Before last weekend’s setback, Andoni Iraola’s men had won four of five previous fixtures, including away wins at Ipswich and Bournemouth.
Liverpool also made a winning start to their Champions League campaign, edging to a 2:1 victory against Atletico Madrid at Anfield. Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister were on target for the English champions.
Iraola has several injury concerns ahead of Wednesday's contest. Conor Bradley, Hugo Ekitike, Giovanni Leoni and Cody Gakpo are expected to remain sidelined, while Isak and Szoboszlai are also doubtful to feature.
Federico Chiesa has returned to training and could lead the attack if cleared to feature.

Prediction
LASK have struggled for consistency in recent weeks, and now face a serious step-up in class against a Liverpool side determined to bounce back after their first league defeat of the season.
Despite some important attacking absentees, a high-scoring away win still seems likely this week.
Liverpool to win and over 2.5 goals is my best bet on Wednesday.
Four Reasons Why We Expect Liverpool to Win and Over 2.5 Goals
- Liverpool won their last 2 matches against LASK
- LASK conceded 7 goals in their last 2 matches against Liverpool
- Liverpool won 4 of their last 6 matches
- LASK conceded 7 goals in their last 3 matches
