Liverpool’s journey to Dublin begins on Thursday night when they go to the Raiffeisen Arena to play Austria’s LASK Linz in their first Europa League Group E matchup.
Due to their fifth-place performance in the Premier League last season, the Reds were relegated to the second division of European football. The hosts advanced by defeating Zrinjski Mostar 3-2 in the qualification round.
LASK vs Liverpool
With a five-match winning streak in the 2023–24 Premier League, Liverpool is off to a strong start in their domestic campaign. With three consecutive goals in the second half, the Reds overcame a 1-0 halftime deficit to defeat Wolves 3-1 in their most recent game. As a result, Liverpool has now won four straight games, scoring at least three goals in each of those encounters.
The visitors’ excellent unbeaten streak of 16 games in competitive games, which dates back to the previous season, is also a result of their great start. Liverpool has played five games so far this season, scoring 2.4 goals on average while giving up only 0.80.
LASK’s third-place result in the Austrian Bundesliga in 2022–23 marked their first top-three finish since 2018–19. In their first seven games of the new season, they managed four wins and two draws, moving them up to third place in Austria’s premier division. The Black-Whites are currently undefeated in seven games across all competitions, winning five of those games.
This run includes their most recent four home victories. A strong home record at the Raiffeisen Arena, where LASK won nine games, drew three, and lost four, helped the team finish in the top three last season. However, with the arrival of the six-time European champions, they will encounter a significant increase in opposition.
Verdict
Liverpool’s superior quality makes them not only the favorites to easily win Group E, but also the top contenders to take home the championship trophy. The Reds should have a significant talent advantage over their competitors, even if Jurgen Klopp chooses to field a mixed starting eleven throughout the group games. As a result of their weekend 3-1 victory over Wolves, Liverpool enters their trip to Austria with a four-match winning streak in the top division.

Cody Gakpo is one of many strong possibilities they have moving forward. Since his arrival in January, the Dutchman has been a regular starter, and at the weekend, he scored Liverpool’s first goal of the season.
Gakpo has now scored in each of his past three games for club and country after scoring in both of this month’s international matches. Back the striker who scored three goals in five games in this competition last season, as he is a likely possibility to lead the line in this match.
