LASK Linz vs Liverpool prediction, odds and how to watch

Liverpool beat Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night, with goals from Alexis Mac Allister, Cody Gakpo, and Dominik Szoboszlai doing the damage. Spurs had more of the ball, more shots, more of everything except what matters.

Sturm Graz won 2-1 against LASK Linz on Sunday, with substitute Oumar Diakité scoring the decisive goal nine minutes after coming on to end LASK's five-match winning run in the Austrian Bundesliga.

Liverpool dominated possession and created four big chances at Anfield but could not find a way through a resolute Fulham side, with the 0-0 draw a frustrating afternoon for the home crowd.

Liverpool head to Austria on Wednesday knowing their Champions League form demands a response. LASK Linz are no soft touch at home, but this is a fixture Liverpool simply have to win.

Manchester City arrive at Anfield on Sunday in far better shape than their hosts, and the head-to-head record makes for grim reading if you are a Liverpool supporter. This is a test of attitude as much as ability.

LASK Linz arrive at Sunday's Austrian Bundesliga clash on the back of five straight wins and a defensive record that is borderline embarrassing for every opponent they have faced. SK Rapid have goals in them, but they are walking into a home side that simply does not lose right now.

Andoni Iraola says Liverpool's forwards, not the struggling Gravenberch-Szoboszlai midfield pairing, are to blame for a third draw in four league games. With Tottenham up next in the Carabao Cup, wholesale changes up front look set to test his diagnosis.

A day after admitting he was 'sad' Liverpool had not offered him a new contract, Alexis Mac Allister scored a stunning winner against Atletico Madrid. Manager Andoni Iraola's guarded response shows the club wants form, not sentiment, to dictate any new deal.
