A groundbreaking game awaits the Linz team. If they want to stay in the European Cup this winter, coach Markus Schopp's squad will have to pick up three points today. Linz have picked up just two points in their first three games in the league phase, leaving them in 30th place at the halfway stage of the competition. 24th place is necessary to stay in the mix.
"It's a situation in which we have to play a good game away against Banja Luka and also get a good result," explained Schopp. The Upper Austrians, who have stabilized since his arrival at the start of September, go into their third away match in a row after 2:1 wins in Salzburg and Altach. Maximilian Entrup, who scored three late goals to secure six points for the Athletiker, was the guarantor of success.
The striker's qualities will also be in demand at the Gradski Stadium against Banja Luka. The Bosnians have already picked up four points in their three CoL games - with a 1-0 win at APOEL Nicosia and a respectable 1-1 draw at home to Panathinaikos Athens.
"Strong team" awaits LASK
"Banja Luka are a strong team who are very disciplined on the ball, allow little space and know how to defend their own goal. They are very stable in many positions, have very interesting players and individual quality," said Schopp.
The opponents also have a lot of Austrian know-how. Stefan Savic from Salzburg, who moved to Borac in the summer, is a regular player. Nine years ago, the attacking player spent six months with LASK. Ex-Rapidler Srdjan Grahovac and Sandi Ogrinec, who only left WSG Tirol for Bosnia-Herzegovina at the beginning of September, also play important roles in coach Mladen Zizovic's team. Niko Datkovic, on the other hand, played for Admira three years ago.
