LASK, 24th in the UEFA Champions League table, host a Slovan Bratislava side still searching for their first point, with neither team keeping a clean sheet in their last 5 matches.
The occasion and the table
LASK host Slovan Bratislava in the UEFA Champions League, with kick-off on 3 November 2026 at 20:00.
The two clubs come into the match from very different positions in the table. LASK are 24th with 3 points from 3 matches, the product of 1 win and 2 defeats. They have scored 6 goals and conceded 9 along the way.
Slovan Bratislava are 36th and are still waiting for their first point, having lost all 3 of their matches. They have scored 1 goal and conceded 13, a far weaker goal record than that of their hosts.
Recent form
LASK arrive on the back of a 3-2 away win against Sporting CP, their most recent match. Before that they lost 3-6 at home to Liverpool, and before that they suffered a 0-1 defeat away to AEK Athens. Earlier still, they beat Celtic 5-1 at home, having lost 0-3 away to Celtic before that. That leaves them with 2 wins, 0 draws and 3 defeats from their last 5 matches.
Slovan Bratislava's most recent outing ended in a 0-4 defeat away to Roma. Before that they lost 0-3 at home to Stuttgart, and before that they were beaten 1-6 away by Paris Saint-Germain. Further back, they won 2-1 away against Celje, having drawn 1-1 at home with Celje before that. Their record from the last 5 matches reads 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats.
Home and away records
LASK have played 2 home matches in the UEFA Champions League this season, winning 1 and losing 1. Goals have flowed at both ends of the pitch in those matches: they have scored 8 and conceded 7.
Slovan Bratislava's away record in the UEFA Champions League this season stands at 5 matches, with 3 wins, 0 draws and 2 defeats. They have scored 7 goals and conceded 12 on their travels.
Players to watch
Florian Flecker is the name to note for the hosts. He is LASK's top scorer in the UEFA Champions League this season with 2 goals, making him a key contributor to a side that has found the net 6 times in the competition table so far.
How the two sides tend to play
The numbers point to two teams who have struggled to keep the ball out of their own net. Neither LASK nor Slovan Bratislava has kept a clean sheet in their last 5 matches.
LASK have scored in 3 of their last 5 matches, and both teams have scored in 3 of those 5. When they do find the net, they have tended to do so in numbers, as the 5-1 win over Celtic and the 3-2 win against Sporting CP show. Their defensive record is less convincing, with 9 goals conceded in the table and 7 conceded in their 2 home matches in the competition.
Slovan Bratislava have also scored in 3 of their last 5 matches, with both teams scoring in 3 of those 5. However, they have failed to score in each of their 3 most recent defeats, against Roma, Stuttgart and Paris Saint-Germain. Their figure of 13 goals conceded in the competition table underlines how much defensive work the visitors face.
