It is LASK Linz’s turn to host Celtic in the two sides’ UEFA Champions League playoff tie. Going into the return leg, Celtic lead 3-0, and LASK’s wait for a first main draw UCL appearance looks likely to drag on. These two sides have been prolific in attack this season, and our prediction goes for the same here.
LASK have a tough task here, looking to overturn a three-goal deficit. The Austrian champions will not feel their fate is sealed; before the first leg they had a 13-game undefeated run.
In that period they had a number of wins by 3+ goals as well. Their run in Europe remains poor, but the hope of a first CL league phase appearance is motivational enough.
Celtic have been there before, and they know what it takes. A three-goal advantage means they are in line for a 14th appearance in the UCL proper.
Having had no weekend activity served them well too. The Hoops have won four out of four this season, and the only negative here will be a few injuries and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s suspension.
Apart from a good lead, Celtic also have a superb away run to bank on. The Scots have won all their last five away matches. They have failed in UCL qualifying the last five times, but here it seems they have laid the foundation for success.

Our LASK Linz vs Celtic Prediction
Two free-scoring sides face off here, and this could yield at least three goals. Only one of LASK’s five matches so far this season has failed to produce three or more goals. Even in the only game they failed to score, the Austrians were still hit for three.
Celtic will head to Austria a very confident side. They aren’t just carrying a healthy lead but have also shown their teeth in attack. While they’ve conceded just once in four, we expect LASK to spoil that stat. Our prediction for LASK v Celtic is BTTS & over 2.5 goals.
