LASK have been outstanding domestically, scoring heavily and winning their first matches. They are therefore not entering this second leg in poor form despite losing the first leg.
The problem is the first-leg result.
A three-goal deficit means they need to attack aggressively, potentially creating spaces for Celtic to exploit.

Key Statistics
Celtic lead the tie 3–0, meaning LASK require at least three unanswered goals simply to force extra time.
Celtic have also conceded only once across their first three competitive matches, while LASK's European defensive performance has been much less convincing.
Team News
LASK have no unavailable players listed in the current match data, giving Dietmar Kühbauer a strong squad to choose from.
Celtic are dealing with injuries to Alistair Johnston and Jota.
Auston Trusty also missed the final training session before the game, creating an additional defensive question.
Prediction Analysis
LASK have enough quality to score at home, but Celtic's three-goal advantage radically changes the tactical situation.
At the same time, Celtic may not be willing to push so much so they may give the chance for LASK to score and all that.
That is why over 1.5 goals is perfect and then BTTS if you are looking for an alternative.
