Liverpool take on the visitors LASK Lisbon in the round 5 match of UEFA Europa League group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, November 30th at Anfield (Liverpool).
Liverpool are using the tournament to provide game practice for reserve players. The "Reds" finished only fifth in the Premier League last season, which was considered a clear failure. Currently, the focus of attention for Jurgen Klopp and his team is on the Premier League, and the team, which has deepened its lineup, is doing well there. In other tournaments, Klopp willingly releases substitutes. Fortunately, his calculations work well, and the team confidently overcomes the group stage, which is less prestigious among European competitions. Yes, in the last round, they lost to Toulouse 2-3. But before that, they defeated both French and LASK and Union.

LASK are not considered a top club even in Austria. The "Black and Whites" were champions only once more than half a century ago, in 1965. But recently, they have had decent results: silver in 2019, a cup final appearance in the season before last. In the 2022/2023 season, only Sturm and, of course, Red Bull were stronger, and there is a chance to finish third now, behind the two leaders. In the Europa League, after eliminating Zrinjski in the qualifiers, the club struggled in the group stage, losing to all three opponents. Then suddenly, in the last round, they managed to defeat Union Saint-Gilloise 3-0 at home. Now there is a chance to fight for at least third place.
Austrians have recently made their debut in European competitions. And, of course, this season they played against the "Reds" for the first time. Even with a suboptimal lineup, Klopp's guys should redeem themselves for the slip in the last round. We expect them to win with a handicap of "-2 goals scored."
Prediction for the match: Liverpool to win with -2.0 handicap.
