Altach draw the curtain on their 2024-25 Austrian Bundesliga campaign when they lock horns with LASK at Raiffeisen Arena on Friday. Fabio Ingolitsch’s men find themselves just one point above rock-bottom Austria Klagenfurt in the relegation spot and need maximum points here to guarantee their top-flight status.
LASK were on the receiving end of their first league defeat since March 16 last Saturday as they were beaten 1-0 by Grazer AK when the two sides met at Merkur Arena.
This followed a goalless draw with Hartberg on May 10, a result which saw their 100% record in the relegation round — seven wins from seven games — come to an end.
LASK currently lead the way at the top of the Austrian Bundesliga relegation-round standings with 37 points, nine points above second-placed Hartberg.
