REF’s picks

LASK Linz are scoring freely at home and face a Salzburg side missing key defensive depth through injuries, making LASK over 1.5 goals a strong value selection. While Salzburg carry dangerous attacking talent that can punish defensive lapses, their recent away struggles point toward a home-dominated fixture.

1. 1LASK's frontline has shown great efficiency recently, netting four past Austria Lustenau and matching up well against Salzburg's depleted backline.
2. 2Salzburg's injury list includes several defensive options, stretching their squad thin following a taxing European week.
3. 3LASK have also shown defensive vulnerability themselves, shipping six against Liverpool recently, meaning Salzburg could easily find the net and keep the game competitive.
