O. Ljubljana vs LASK Prediction & Betting Tips (24 October)

For its first match in the competition this season, Olimpija Ljubljana had to make a rather perilous trip to the field of a very good team from Heidenheim. And despite a good performance, the Slovenes ended up giving up at the end of the match, just a few minutes after equalizing 2-1. 3rd in its championship last year, the capital club this time occupies the top of the ranking in Slovenia despite its defeat before the international break against NK Koper 0-1. A duel to restart the machine awaits next weekend against Nafta Lendava. Opposite, LASK led for a long time against Djugaarden during the 1st day before being caught in the 2nd period and conceding the draw against the Swedes 2-2.

A poor performance for this Austrian team which we find quite regularly on the European scene in recent seasons, as in the Europa League , in the Toulouse group, last season. 3rd in its championship last year, the Linz-based club is not showing its best side for the moment since it is in 9th place in the Austrian Bundesliga standings. Winner of Austria Klagenfurt 4-0 before the break, LASK will travel to Wattens next weekend.

The group that makes up this Olimpija Ljubljana team is relatively little known to the public, made up for the most part by players who have never played in the best European clubs. In addition, Croatian striker Marin (2 goals in 2 games) has been absent for a while. On the side of the forces present, we can note the name of Florucz who is quite regularly decisive in the championship with 3 goals and 2 assists. The Croatian Durdov (3 goals and 1 assist) and the Portuguese Pinto (3 goals) are not left out. On the LASK side, the usually starting goalkeeper Lawal and the relatively important attacker Usor are on the flank.

This is also the case for long-term injured Ljubicic and Andrade who are also absent. We find in this team several elements well known in France like the former world champion defender Boateng, the midfielder Berisha (ex Reims) and the French attackers Pintor, Tibidi and Taoui who are most of the time substitutes. With 4 goals scored in the league, the Croatian Ljubicic is the most decisive player of this team ahead of the precious Zulj (3 goals).
