LASK Linz vs Altach Prediction & Betting tips
Will the LASK be able to build on the achievements of recent years without success trainer Oliver Glasner? The black and white people from Linz have become the clear number two in Austrian football over the past two years with refreshing offensive football. The 2019/20 season will start this weekend and Oliver Glasner will not take a seat on the bench. Ex-Nuremberg Valer Ismael is his successor. On his debut on Sunday there will be a duel between the LASK and Altach!
The footsteps of the Neo Wolfsburg trainer Glasner are huge. The task for Valerien Ismael is certainly not easy and in many places there are legitimate concerns that the LASK can build on the strong performance. The home game against the Vorarlberg Bundesliga SCR Altach seems to be a compulsory task on paper. But the westernmost Bundesliga club presented itself in the preparation strong and is by no means to be underestimated. Game start in Pasching is on Sunday afternoon at 16 clock.
LASK:
The past at Red Bull Salzburg was clear to Oliver Glasner. A clear game philosophy was evident and the Upper Austrians convinced with pleasing offensive football. It was not for nothing that the club was even able to dream a little bit about the sensational championship after the points had been divided. The vice-title is also a huge success and thanks to the Europa League victory of Chelsea London, the LASK is thus also firmly in the group stage of an international competition. The international adventure will begin in the Champions League. The lot brought the LASK a duel against the winner of the match between PSV Eindhoven and FC Basel. In the event of a retirement, the LASK would be fix in the Europa League group stage!
The double burden will definitely play a role in the autumn. The three-day match rhythm will be an unfamiliar task for the players. In addition, there was a major bloodletting in the summer to cope. Not only Oliver Glasner, but also Joao Victor, Maximilian Ullman and Florian Jamnig left the club. Creative spirit Peter Michorl also toying with a finish.
Valerien Ismael did not experience a quiet summer in his first weeks in the Stahlstadt. He also has to answer for himself, because for example, he fired his fitness trainer Denny Krcmarek after just 20 days. Several players had physical problems and Ismael saw the culprit in his own fitness trainer. As an active player Ismael was active on the big stage. He now wants to pass on this experience to his players and continue on his chosen path. Ismael does not want to change anything in the highly successful 3-4-3 system and the preparation was also done with this tactical approach.
Altach:
A turbulent season lies behind the cashpoint SCR Altach. The Vorarlbergers were in desperate need for a long time. There was improvement only after the basic round when the young head coach Werner Grabherr was relieved of his duties. The commitment of the Dutchman Alex Pastoor initially made for no jubilation. However, the team presented from then on much stronger and could finally confidently celebrate the league.
The expiring contract, which was only valid until the end of the season, was extended by one year. The Pastoor family continues to live in the Netherlands, but the common path continues. With the transfer summer, the fans in the “Ländle” are extremely satisfied. The departure of defender Benedikt Zech (to Poland) hurts extremely, but otherwise the team could be strengthened especially in the offensive. Salzburg loan Ousmane Diakite seems to be a real lucky man. The youngster, who was just 19 years old this week, convinced in the preparation in full line and forms together with the Cameroonian Samuel Oum Gouet one of the best six-man duo in the league.
Not for nothing the Vorarlberg are traded by many experts as a hot candidate for a place in the upper play-off. The big ambitions are underlined by the strong performance in the preparation. They lost 3: 2 to West Ham United, and the Bundesliga side drew 1-1 in the Southampton FC Saints. The competitive match kicked off against third division Kufstein despite 70-minute outnumbered extremely sovereign. Altach celebrated a 6-1 win and is now in round two.
Jan Zwischenbrugger was expelled due to an emergency brake of the field. A serious failure, because currently there are only three Bundesliga-proven center-back in the squad. New signing Mathias Maak was recently out of action due to illness, but should get fit until the Linz match. With the euphoria and the good preparation we rate between the LASK and Altach the quotas offered to the hosts as clearly too low.
