And it is not just Europa League football we have covered, with the site bursting at the seams with football tips and the very best free expert betting predictions.
It’s the penultimate game for the Europa League group games, and the stakes are high. Both Liverpool and LASK need a win in this game. Liverpool sit at the top of the group on nine points, all but guaranteed to qualify. Just a point here would see them through.
On the other hand, LASK need a win to keep their European dreams alive. They sit bottom of the group on three points, to have any chance of progressing to the knockout stages they need a win here. They are also only one point off the playoffs stage for the Conference League, making this game even more important.
Last time these two faced up against each other Liverpool won 3-1. However, they would have been feeling the nerves, being 1-0 down for over half the game. It took a penalty for Liverpool to first find the back of the net, slotted away by Darwin Nunez. Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah then added their names to the scoresheet.
Aside from the four goals, there was plenty of other action including 13 corners, 21 shots, and 29 fouls committed. Given the high stakes of this game, Thursday night’s clash is teed up to contain more of the same. This article aims to break down all the main stats and key match ups behind this game, using stats from the Liverpool v LASK Cheat Sheet.

⚽ Match stats: Liverpool expected to dominate
As mentioned, this game is important for Liverpool as a win sees them qualify for knockout stages. This means they will likely take the reins and dominate, as they did last game even when playing away from Anfield. The Reds had 67% of possession, more corners, shots, and shots on target.
Impressively, Liverpool have been dominating most of the games they have played. Over their last ten, they have had the majority share of possession in nine games. This often leads them to take more corners and shots than their opposition.
Although Liverpool to win is priced quite short at just 1/10, the handicap markets are a good place to turn to for value picks. If you are unfamiliar with these markets, handicap betting essentially means the scoreline starts at something other than 0-0. For example, Liverpool (-1.0) means that they start the game one goal down, and therefore need to win by two or more for the selection to land.
Predictions:
🏆 Liverpool (-1 handicap) @ 1.36
🏆 Liverpool (-2 handicap) @ 2.00
🚩 Corner stats: Serious value to be found in LASK corners
LASK have been averaging 5.04 corners per game this season across all competitions. In their last game against The Reds, LASK managed six corners. In fact, their goal in this game came from a corner, and it was an absolute screamer. Florian Flecker received the cross outside the box, catching it on the half volley and smashing it home into the bottom left. No keeper would have been able to stop it.
Liverpool have actually been conceding a high number of corners this season (5.08). Their average number conceded in the Europa League has been higher (6.00), which is interesting considering the quality of teams in their group being far lower than that in the Premier League.
Given LASK’s recent corner record, and Liverpool’s corners against record, it is surprising to see that over 3.5 away corners is over evens. If you have not been considering LASK corners in your Liverpool v LASK bet builders for this game, you should be.
Predictions:
🚩 Over 2.5 LASK corners @ 1.57
🚩 Over 3.5 LASK corners @ 2.40
🟨 Cards & Fouls stats: Important Game + Card Happy Ref = Lots of Bookings
Last time these two clashed, there were five bookings. Further, there were 29 fouls committed (14 for Liverpool and 15 for LASK).
Liverpool have seen a match average of 4.38 cards per match this season (2.23 for and 2.15 against). As for LASK, they have seen 4.13 (2.33 for and 1.80 against). Further, Liverpool have seen over 2.5 cards in seven of their last ten; whilst LASK has seen the market land in eight of their last ten.
So, who are the most likely candidates for a booking?
Liverpool: Alexis Mac Allister has picked up the most bookings for The Reds so far this season (5), with an average of 2.06 fouls committed. He will be facing up against Sascha Horvath, a midfielder who has won 1.29 fouls across all games this season. Horvath played the full 90 minutes last game against Liverpool and drew five fouls.
On the flip side, Horvath is just as likely to pick up a booking as he is to force his opposition into getting one. He has been booked six times this season, and has an average of 1.57 fouls committed across all competitions this season. He has committed at least two fouls in four of his last five.
Predictions:
🟨 Over 3.5 match cards @ 1.60
🛑 Alexis Mac Allister to commit 2+ fouls @ 1.83
🟨 Alexis Mac Allister to be shown a card @ 5.00
🛑 Sascha Horvath to commit 2+ fouls @ 2.10
🟨 Sascha Horvath to be shown a card @ 4.00
