Salzburg welcome LASK to the Red Bull Arena for matchday 10 of the Austrian Bundesliga on Sunday.
The hosts head into the game fresh off the back of an impressive Champions League victory over Lille. The visitors were held to a 1-1 draw by Maccabi Tel Aviv in the UEFA Europa Conference League.
Salzburg picked up their first Champions League victory last Wednesday as they claimed a 2-1 win over French champions Lille.
Matthias Jaissle’s men now return to the Austrian Bundesliga where they extended their dominance last time out courtesy of a 2-0 win over Wolfsberger AC.
Salzburg are currently en route to another league title as they currently sit at the top of the table with a seven-point cushion on Sturm Graz.
Meanwhile, LASK were denied a third win on the bounce as they played out a 1-1 draw with Maccabi Tel Aviv in Group A of the UEFA Europa Conference League.
Prior to that, Andreas Wieland’s men claimed a comfortable 3-0 win over Stripfing/Weiden in the OFB Cup, before edging out Flyeralarm Admira 3-1 in the league.
With 10 points from nine games, LASK are currently sixth on the log but could rise as high as third with a win.
