What does Liverpool need against LASK to advance to the top of the Europa League group?

From Liverpool we know that we are one of the contenders to fight for the Europa League title. They have been used to being in the Champions League for several seasons and now that they have dropped to the second most important competition, they are logical candidates for the title. Although they have not dominated their group as expected, they have not jeopardised their qualification at any point. Thanks to this, with a win in this match they will be sure to advance to the next round and await their opponents. It would even allow them to lose on the final matchday.

The Reds are in good footballing form, with two wins, one draw and one defeat in their last four matches. Although sometimes they do not manage to seal the match with a favourable result, the level of football they have this season is growing compared to how they finished last season. In the Europa League table they are first with nine points.

While LASK started the season in the best way with several victories both in the local league and in the cups they play. But they have not been able to translate that reality in the Europa League: they are fourth with three points, they still have a chance to get into second place and reach the next stage or to finish third and reach the Conference League, but for that they will have to start winning three out of three.

What does Liverpool need to advance?

For now the Reds are in first place in Group E with 9 points and a goal difference of +7. In second place is Toulouse with 7 points and a goal difference of -2, and Saint Gilloise have 4 points in third place. With a win tonight against the Austrians, they would secure their ticket to the last 32 of the Europa League. With a draw, they would have to wait until the last matchday and a defeat would complicate everything. If Liverpool win today and Toulouse lose to Sain Gilloise, the Reds will secure top spot in the group.
