Liverpool Defence Shapes Low Scoring Contest
Liverpool have recorded four wins and one draw in their last five outings while conceding just 0.4 goals per game. Lask Linz enter with two wins one draw and two defeats across their previous five matches and average 1.6 goals conceded overall. In league play this season Lask Linz have kept no clean sheets and Liverpool have also failed to record one in their single outing. The two sides have produced over 2.5 goals in both prior meetings yet combined recent scoring rates sit near four goals per match. At home Lask Linz concede an average of 1.0 goal per league game while Liverpool score 0.0 away in theirs. Liverpool’s back line faces a Lask attack that has failed to score in two of three league fixtures so far. The contest could stay open in midfield but the main risk remains an early breakthrough that opens space for extra goals.
