Austrian outfit LASK kick-started their UEFA Champions League bid with a shock win at Sporting CP in the last round of fixtures and will be looking to back that up with another three points when they host ŠK Slovan Bratislava on Tuesday.
The visitors have endured a miserable UEFA Champions League campaign so far as they sit at the bottom of the standings with no points, having conceded 13 goals while scoring just once in their first three games.

LASK v ŠK Slovan Bratislava Prediction
Best Bet: LASK -1 @ 1/1
LASK initially found life tough in their first UEFA Champions League campaign as they lost 1-0 in Athens to AEK before being hammered 6-3 at home by Liverpool.
The Austrian outfit were 6-1 down to the Reds before pulling two goals back to make the scoreline a little more respectable.
However, LASK demonstrated that they weren’t prepared to down tools just yet as they claimed a memorable and unlikely 3-2 win over Sporting CP in Lisbon and they can boost their chances of securing a knockout tie further by beating ŠK Slovan Bratislava.
The Slovakian outfit have been thrashed by both Paris Saint-Germain and Roma away from home and offered little in a 3-0 defeat to Stuttgart in Bratislava.
The visitors have been in fine form domestically but have really struggled in Europe and there appears to be a gulf in class between these two sides, so LASK can win with some room to spare.
Alternative Bet: Christoph Lang to score anytime @ 4/5
Christoph Lang has already bettered his Austrian Bundesliga goals tally from last season with seven goals in 11 games this term.
The LASK forward scored in his side’s win over Sporting and has managed four shots on target across three games in this season’s UEFA Champions League.
Lang is one of the early contenders for top scorer honours in the Austrian Bundesliga and he has proven to be a threat in Europe as well, he stands out as the best pick for an anytime effort against ŠK Slovan Bratislava.
LASK v ŠK Slovan Bratislava Bet Builder Tip
- Christoph Lang 2+ shots on target
- Samuel Adeniran 2+ shots on target
- Cesar Blackman to be booked
Pays 37/4
LASK are expected to dominate this UEFA Champions League fixture and they should be able to carve out plenty of chances against an ŠK Slovan Bratislava outfit who have shipped 13 goals in just three games in this competition.
As such, LASK duo Lang and Samuel Adeniran can record at least two shots on target each.
Lang is averaging 1.3 shots on target per game in this competition and scored against Sporting. Adeniran has featured twice in the league phase and has yet to score in the main draw - but he did grab two goals in qualifying.
Adeniran has scored three goals and provided two assists in his last five games across all competitions and has bagged six goals in just eight Bundesliga appearances.
ŠK Slovan Bratislava will come under sustained pressure for large periods and that may lead to a few cards being dished out to the visiting players.
Midfielder Cesar Blackman is one obvious pick for a yellow card for ŠK Slovan Bratislava as he has one booking in nine Slovakian Nike Liga games and three in nine in the UEFA Champions League, including qualifiers.
