LASK host WSG Tirol at Raiffeisen Arena on Sunday in the Austrian Bundesliga, looking to end their four-game losing run.
Rock bottom in the league standings with just 10 points from 13 games, Die Laskler look set to head into the relegation round, barring a miraculous upturn in form.
Their rivals from the east haven’t covered themselves in much glory either, languishing in 10th place with just three points more than LASK.
With 25 goals conceded in 13 games, the Wattens outfit have the worst defensive record in the league after only Ried, who have shipped 29.
