Tottenham vs LASK Prediction & Betting tips
Three Austrian teams are represented in the UEFA Europa League group stage this season. The first game day is all about the duel “London against the Austrian Bundesliga”.
For the LASK players, it is the second trip to England in a very short time after the previous EL season ended at Manchester United’s Old Trafford. The Upper Austrians have the chance to overwinter again, but normally there should be nothing to gain from the Mourinho-Elf.
Our Europa League tip category not only contains previews and predictions for the Austrian teams, but our authors also provide exciting articles on all 24 games on the first Europa League match day.
Tottenham:
After the Spurs reached a top four position in the English Premier League four times in a row, the Mourinho-Elf had to be content with sixth place in the table last season. As a result, Tottenham not only missed the premier class, but also had to survive three qualifying rounds before participation in the group stage was fixed.
For the first time since the 2015/16 season, Spurs are back in the group stage of the Europa League and can look back on impressive numbers in their home games. Tottenham has played 15 home games so far and only suffered one defeat, twelve games have been victorious and points have only been shared twice.
In view of these numbers, the prognosis for the home side between Tottenham and LASK is absolutely obvious. However, the fact that the Spurs have not yet been able to convince in the new White Hart Lane Stadium gives LASK hope. Since moving into the brand new stadium, Tottenham celebrated only three wins in seven home games, the 2: 7 defeat against eventual winners Bayern Munich was particularly bitter.
Speaking of bitter – that was also the closing phase last weekend. After a furious start in the derby against West Ham, the Mourinho team quickly took the lead 3-0, but in the last ten minutes Tottenham actually gambled away the victory and conceded the equalizer from the “Goal of the Year” category in minutes 90 + 4 .
The Welshman Gareth Bale was back for the Spurs for the first time, he was substituted on in the 72nd minute. He could celebrate his starting XI comeback against LASK.
LASK:
Last season, the Linz team impressed over long stretches with cheeky attacking football and extremely high pressing. The LASK was a serious competitor for the bulls nationally and also caused a sensation internationally. In the finish, however, the club ran out of air and as fourth in the table, the direct EL ticket was lost.
As an unset team, the way to the group stage in qualifying was difficult, but as in the previous year, the Upper Austrians were able to eliminate the Portuguese top club Sporting Lisbon. Back then in the group stage, now in the play-off round.
The victory succeeded in an impressive way. In the end, there was a fantastic 4-1 victory on the scoreboard, which gave LASK its second participation in the EL group stage. Once again, LASK was able to convince abroad. Nevertheless, at the start of the group between Tottenham and LASK, a successful tip on countable things would be surprising for the underdog.
Dominik Thalhammer has been in charge at LASK since the end of last season. The former coach of the women’s national team was viewed with skepticism in many places and after the catastrophic preparation there was early criticism. With the start of the competitive games, however, LASK has caught up and is back in its usual shape.
Despite a defeat in the last Bundesliga game (0: 3 against Rapid Vienna), LASK can look back on a strong start to the season. In addition to the EL participation, LASK is in the round of 16 of the domestic cup competition and has seven points on the credit side after four games in the league. What is striking is once again the enormous strength in standards, which enables LASK to score several goals.
