LASK will invite RB Salzburg to Raiffeisen Arena in the Austrian Cup quarterfinals on Sunday. The hosts overcame second-tier side Voitsberg in the previous round and Salzburg defeated WSG Tirol.
Die Schwarz-Weißen play their first competitive match of the year and will look to leave a good account of themselves here. They ended 2024 on a five-game winless streak, suffering four losses.
The visitors have played two games in 2025, with both matches taking place in the UEFA Champions League. They lost 5-1 to reigning champions Real Madrid last month and suffered a 4-1 loss to Atletico Madrid on Wednesday.
LASK and RB Salzburg met in the quarterfinals of the Austrian Cup last season as well. The visitors progressed to the next round after recording a narrow 3-2 win.
