LASK host Liverpool at Raiffeisen Arena on Wednesday, October 14 (12:45 PM ET / 11:45 AM CT / 9:45 AM PT).
LASK have no fresh fitness concerns to report, and Samuel Adeniran — 2 goals and 16 shots through LASK’s Champions League league-phase campaign so far — should again lead the line, with Moses Usor and attacking midfielder Sascha Horvath, who has created 12 chances already this season, expected to support him. Liverpool are similarly unaffected by injury or suspension, and Dominik Szoboszlai, who scored in the opening win over Atletico Madrid, should start again alongside Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz.
LASK are without a point after their opening match in this season’s Champions League league phase, beaten 1-0 away at AEK Athens, while Liverpool have 3 points and a +1 goal difference following their 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid. That gap points to a cagey night rather than an open one — Liverpool’s control should be the difference, but LASK’s deficiencies in front of goal so far make a slim, single-goal margin the most likely shape of this game rather than a flurry of chances at either end.

LASK vs Liverpool Prediction
This has the shape of a tight, low-scoring night rather than an end-to-end one. LASK have 0 points and a -1 goal difference after an opening-day 1-0 loss at AEK Athens, and their issues scoring look likely to continue against a Liverpool side sitting on 3 points and a +1 goal difference following a 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid. We’re backing Liverpool’s control to be enough without the game opening up, settling on a 0-1 away win with the Under 2.5 and a BTTS ‘No’ both landing alongside it.
