Lask:
The athletics sports club in Linz was able to avert bankruptcy just six years ago. At that time the club played in the third Austrian league. Under coach Oliver Glasner, who took over the Linzer for the 2015/16 season, the upswing began. As champions of the second league season 2016/17, the Upper Austrians returned to the Bundesliga.
In the first year in the first league Glasner led the ASK directly to the vice champion title. Thus, Linz is allowed to compete in the CL qualifier this year. Following the change from successful trainer Glasner to Wolfsburg, successor Valerien Ismael is now seamlessly linked to the work of his predecessor.
From the first three league games, the black and white drew nine points and remained clean sheet. Also in the Cup, the team reached with a 6: 2 at Union Vöcklamarkt sovereign the next round. In addition, there are two victories in the Champions League qualification against FC Basel.
The first leg at FCB won the Austrian vice champion 2-1 and then moved with a 3-1 victory in the second leg at home in the playoffs. On Saturday, the Lask went for the first time after six competitive wins in a row as the winner of the field. Against newly promoted WSG Tirol it was enough in the league at home only to a 1: 1.
But coach Ishmael had spared his regulars for the premier class and rebuilt the starting eleven on eight positions. Until the 81st minute, the B-Elf of Linzer was 0: 1 behind before Wiesinger met to equalize. Linz had actually had the game under control even without many regular players, only in the game forward miss the effectiveness. In the Austrian Bundesliga, the ASK remains with ten points first pursuer of defending champion Salzburg. The gap to the champion is currently two meters. Against Bruges missing Christian Ramsebner, Dominik Reiter and In-Pyo Oh.
Bruges:
Club Brugge is number two behind RSC Anderlecht with 15 league titles in Belgium. In the last season, Bruges had to give the KRC Genk the lead and settle for second place. Bruges wants to attack again this season. For Genk they read off the master coach Philippe Clement. In addition, goalkeepers Simon Mignolet from Liverpool and Marvelous Nakamba from Aston Villa. With player sales, however, the club took almost 60 million euros.
The plan seems to be working out in the Belgian league. After four games, the club leads the table with ten points. On Friday, however, there was the 0-0 home win against KAS Eupen the first point loss. Against the well defending guests the KV hardly came to scoring chances. Unlike Linz sent Clement in the championship game almost his best team on the field.
It was particularly dramatic in the previous round of the Champions League qualification. Brugge had won the first leg at home to Kiev 1-0. But after five minutes of the second leg, the Ukrainians had equalized the result from the first duel. In the end, the Belgian runner-up handed a 3: 3 for entry into the playoffs.
The club could move into the CL group stage for the third time in four seasons with a progress against Linz. Away, the Belgians are having a hard time. Bruges won only one of the last twelve away games in the Champions League. There were eight defeats.
In this balance falls before the duel Lask Vs. Bruges a forecast on a victory of the guests difficult. New signing Percy Tau missed the first leg in Linz after his yellow-red card in the match against Kiev. Due to injury, Simon Deli is missing.
