- In advance at 6:50 pm, the first leg was one of the most difficult matches this season. Obviously LASK analyzed us well and applied pressure very well. We found answers to that question in the second half, and that’s how we’ve prepared ourselves now. Charles Vanhoutte.

- In advance, 4:58pm Etihad CEO Bormans: “Second place in the group is the goal.” After the big win over Club Brugge last weekend, Union travel to Austria with confidence. “It was a special Sunday evening,” says CEO Philipp Bormans. “That’s what you do for in football. It was a great atmosphere in a full stadium, the football was good and so was the result.” Union are four points clear at the top of the competition, with title favorites shifting increasingly towards Dudenpark. “We are now also in first place, which makes sense,” says Bormans. “But we know that the regular competition only counts for half, and the goal is the qualifiers and after that we will see.” UEFA did an excellent job two weeks ago regarding qualification. “We knew Liverpool would be out of the group, but below us we have three equally matched teams.” “We drew against Toulouse at home and won against LASK, and now we also have to do it away from home. Let’s be clear: our goal is second place.” “For a club like Union, the European winter is very important. We proved in the Europa League last year that we are capable of doing nice things. But we don’t need a knockout stage to maintain balance in the green zone.” .
