The Linzer won the first leg at home 4-0 last week and are already in the third round with more than one leg.

For the second leg between Lilleström and LASK we found a tip with lucrative odds.
Lillestrom:
Lilleström SK finished the last season of the Norwegian Eliteserien in 12th place, only five points before the first relegation place. Away there were only three wins in 15 games. All in all, the yellow-blacks have already become champions in Norway five times. The last title, however, was in 1989. The Norwegian Cup was in the recent past better. Lilleström prevailed in the Cup final in 2017 against Sarpsborg and celebrated the sixth overall success in the Norwegian Football Cup. For the first time since the 2008/09 season, the “canaries” from the southern Norwegian town were again represented internationally.
In the current 2018 season of the Eliteserien 16 games have already been completed. The reigning cup winner is fighting this season against relegation. Currently Lilleström is in 13th place, tied with Stabaek on the relegation place. Of the 16 season games, the team of coach Jörgen Lennartsson has won only three. In the cup, the defending champion is still back in the quarter-finals and meets there at the end of September at home to the second division Bryne FK. At the end of June, coach Arne Erlandsen was released after two years. Interim solution Arild Sundgot scored just one point in his two games. In the middle of July the Swede Jörgen Lennartsson was presented as a new man on the trainer chair. His debut game was the first round match in Linz. Lilleström has been waiting for five games for a win. In the last nine competitive games, there was only one victory.
LASK:
As a climber, the Linz ASK finished last season in Austria on a great fourth place. The gap to champions Salzburg was 26 points. Previously, the Linz had spent six seasons in the second or third league. At home you could win ten out of 18 games. By the fourth place of the Linz athletics sports club returned after the 1999/2000 season for the first time in the European Cup. In the first competitive game of the season, Linz prevailed in the Cup with 3: 0 at the regional league Hertha Wels. The league start was lost, however, with a 1: 3. However, the team of coach Oliver Glasner also started with a game at champions Salzburg with the worst possible opening match.
Already at break, the Linzer were back with 0: 3 against the Bulls. In the end, the guests could make the second half even more conciliatory and had to “beaten” only with 1: 3. The loss to Salzburg was the fifth league defeat in a row for Linz. Also in the preparation they had lost the test matches against Red Star Belgrade and 1. FC Heidenheim. Against Apollon Limassol and the Austrian amateurs of Gallneukirchen you could win against it. Coach Oliver Glasner worked for the Red Bull football family for several years, trying to give his team the RB style with early pressing and plenty of running work. Before the season, goalkeeper Pervan Pavao had to be drawn to VfL Wolfsburg. The squad was strengthened by new entrants such as Yusuf Otubanjo, Markus Wostry, Florian Jamnig or Fabian Benko.
