  "account": "AEK and LASK Linz are set to clash in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday at the OPAP Arena. This will be AEK's 12th appearance in the competition, while LASK Linz make their second European campaign.\n\nIn their most recent game, AEK secured a convincing 5-0 victory over Aris in the Greek League. LASK Linz, on the other hand, triumphed 1-6 against Deutschlandsberger SC in the Austrian Cup.\n\nFor AEK, Ramiz Harakaté will miss the match due to a cruciate ligament tear. Samuel Adeniran is also unavailable for LASK Linz.\n\nLooking at recent form, AEK have been impressive, coming off seven consecutive games without a loss and five consecutive victories. LASK Linz, meanwhile, have also shown strong form, with four wins and one defeat in their last five away games. They've also scored in four of their last nine away games and gone without a loss in four consecutive away matches.\n\nHowever, it's important to note that AEK and LASK Linz have never faced each other before in their UEFA Champions League history, meaning both teams are starting from an equal footing in this encounter.",
