Basel - LASK Linz Prediction, Picks and Tips
First leg of the 3rd round of the Champions League where Basel face against Lask. Basel an old acquaintance in the phases of groups where there is always 1st or 2nd of their league. It already has 112 games played in Champions and more than 100 in Europa League. He comes from winning in the previous round to PSV where playing as a visitor lost 2-3 but at home he won 2-1 and allowed to qualify for the next round. PSV remember we played the league against the almighty Ajax last season and was only 3 points away from winning the league. He is already 2nd behind the Young Boys in 3 days.
The Lask comes from making a good preseason with 3 wins and 1 loss in 4 friendlies. They have also started the championship as Basel and has 2 victories with 0 goals against. But remember that we are talking about the Austrian league that is below the Swiss league in terms of level.
The Basel numbers at home are very good with 8 wins and 2 losses in the last 10 games and although the Lask visitor has also obtained good numbers, the condition of Local in Champions has to weigh. I remember that Lask played the previous stages in Europa League last year and eliminated the Besitkas in 3rd round. In fact, historically in European competitions he has not been good to play outside (wikipedia source)
