LASK vs Vikingur Reykjavik Match Analysis & Prediction
19/12/2024 11:00 pm
Nearly eliminated from the Conference League, LASK Linz hope to end the league phase with a positive result against Vikingur Reykjavik at Raffeisen Arena on Thursday, keen to retain faint chances of making the knockout-round playoffs.
Although the 34th-placed hosts need a miracle to squeak through, their Icelandic opponents need a point to end in the playoff spots.
Winless after five matchdays, LASK have two points from a possible 15, enough to delay elimination, unlike the two teams below them – Petrocub Hincesti and Larne – but needing a miracle in the final round of fixtures.
LASK’s point tally means they can leapfrog only Istanbul Basaksehir (five points) in the table after matchday six, even if that outcome requires a healthy win over Vikingur and the Turkish side losing resoundingly at Cercle Brugge to erase their goal difference disadvantage – LASK (-10), Basaksehir (-3).
It remains to be seen if LASK find their shooting boots against a Vikingur side that have responded impressively to matchday one’s 4-0 defeat at Omonia Nicosia.
Vikingur went three matches unbeaten after that opening defeat, winning two and playing out a draw, before coming unstuck on home turf in last week’s 2-1 loss to Djurgarden.
The 19th-placed visitors have seven points after five matches and need a draw in Linz to steer clear of the cluster of clubs with four points below 24th (Celje, Molde, TSC, Astana, HJK, St Gallen and Noah) and secure their spot in February’s knockout playoffs.
