LASK, founded in 1908 and based at the Raiffeisen Arena, are setting the pace in Austria’s Bundesliga in the 2026-27 season. A squad of 27 players, with an average age of 24, gives them a fairly young profile for a side currently sitting in first place.
Their league form has been bluntly effective. Recent wins over Austria Vienna, Grazer AK, Red Bull Salzburg, Rapid Vienna and TSV Hartberg point to a side carrying both momentum and conviction. At home they are averaging three goals per match without conceding; away, they are still producing two goals per game and keeping things equally clean at the other end.
Christoph Lang has been the main finisher with five goals, followed by Samuel Adeniran on three, while Andrés Andrade and Kryštof Daněk have contributed one each. LASK have also made a habit of starting sharply, scoring the first goal inside 20 minutes in eight of 19 league matches.
Their wider season has included the ÖFB Cup second round and the Champions League qualifying play-offs. For Celtic supporters, LASK profile as a well-organised Austrian side in strong domestic form, with enough attacking output to merit proper attention.
