LASK will host Red Bull Salzburg at the Raiffeisen Arena on Saturday in another round of the 2023-24 Austrian Bundesliga campaign.
The home side have endured a difficult run of results of late but are set to finish the regular season in the Championship round. They played out a goalless draw against Rheindorf Altach in their last league outing and could have no real complaints about the result after managing just two shots throughout the match, none of which found the target.
LASK sit third in the league table with 35 points from 21 matches. They will be looking to shake off their latest results and get their campaign back on track this weekend.
Red Bull Salzburg, meanwhile, are playing well at the moment and remain hopeful of securing an 11th consecutive league title. They beat Austria Klagenfurt 1-0 in their last match, squandering multiple chances before Ivory Coast international Karim Konate came off the bench to score the game-winner.
The visitors sit atop the league standings with 47 points picked up so far and will be looking to strengthen their grip at the top with maximum points on Saturday.
