However, the team is currently struggling with injury worries because several players such as Pintor, Usor, Jungwirth, Berisha and Michael are out.

The way to the final

The winner of the encounter on Monday will meet SK Rapid in two games. This duel could be crucial, because the winner qualifies on July 24 for the 2nd qualification round of the UEFA Conference League. According to [LASK], the teams from the lower play-off have succeeded twice in the past six years to qualify for the European Cup qualification-a fact that further raises the tension.

The current table situation is also important. The LASK prevailed in the qualification group of the Admiral Bundesliga and their placements are determined, among other things, according to the goal difference and gates achieved. This is particularly relevant because the table has a direct impact on the qualification options for the next UEFA competitions. [Bundesliga.at] emphasizes in their regulations that in the event of a point inequality, the goal difference and the number of gates achieved are decisive, which builds up additional pressure on the teams.

The upcoming semi -finals between LASK and Hartberg promises to be an intense and exciting duel in which both teams fight for their chance of international football.
