Liverpool head to Linz aiming to extend winning habit over Lask
Liverpool travel to the Raiffeisen Arena to face Lask Linz in their second UEFA Champions League league-stage fixture, with history and recent form both favouring the visitors. The two sides have met twice before, both times in the UEFA Europa League, and Liverpool won both comfortably, including a 4-0 victory in November 2023 and a 3-1 away win in September of that year.
Form guide
Liverpool arrive in considerably better shape over their last five matches, having won three, drawn one and lost one, compared to Lask Linz's solitary win in the same span, which also included three defeats and a draw. That gap in recent results reinforces the pattern established in their previous European encounters.
For Lask Linz, hosting a side with Liverpool's pedigree in this competition presents a clear opportunity to arrest a difficult run, while Liverpool will look to build early momentum in the league stage with another positive result away from home.
Kick-off at the Raiffeisen Arena in Linz is scheduled for 14 October, with both clubs looking to make an early statement in the Champions League table.
