Fixture Analysis
It is a Bundesliga clash, Regular Season - 18 as Austria Vienna welcome Lask Linz to Generali Arena. Kick-off is set for Sunday 12 December 2021 at 16:00 UTC.
Recent Form
Across all Bundesliga games this season, Austria Vienna have gone 3W 5D 2L from 10 outings — a 1.40 PPG return. Last five: D L D W D. They are averaging 1.40 goals per game and conceding 1.10 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets. This season is still relatively young for Austria Vienna, so this record blends games from this season and last.
Austria Vienna's home record at Generali Arena: 2W 5D 1L from 8 Bundesliga appearances (1.38 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.38 goals scored and 1.00 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 75% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture.
Looking at all fixtures this season, Lask Linz stand at 3W 2D 5L from 10 Bundesliga matches — 1.10 PPG. Last five: L W D L W. They are scoring at 1.50 per game and conceding 1.50. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market. This season is still relatively young for Lask Linz, so this record blends games from this season and last.
Lask Linz's away record: 1W 3D 4L from 8 road trips in Bundesliga this season (0.75 PPG). Away from home they average 1.25 goals scored and 1.75 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 75% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture.
The form comparison is too close to call — 1.40 PPG (Austria Vienna) versus 1.10 (Lask Linz). When the figures are this level, no pick can be reliably derived from recent results alone.
Both teams score in over 75% of each side's relevant games (using home/away splits). At that combined rate, BTTS Yes is as well-evidenced as it gets — the data strongly backs two-way scoring.
In-Play Profile
Austria Vienna in-play tendencies (17 games, 8 at home): they score before half-time in 50% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 78% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 56% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 75% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 38% of games (home games).
Lask Linz in-play tendencies (17 games, 8 at away): they score before half-time in 88% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 100% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 67% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 75% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games (away games).
From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Austria Vienna 65% and Lask Linz 59% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. Under 2.5 goals has backing from the in-play data — both teams register low Over 2.5 rates (Austria Vienna 35% | Lask Linz 41%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Austria Vienna 1.64 xG and Lask Linz 1.22 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Austria Vienna attack 0.971 / defence 1.038 | Lask Linz attack 0.893 / defence 1.397. League average goals — home 1.212 / away 1.312. Lask Linz bring a strong defensive rating of 1.397 — this is suppressing Austria Vienna's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 17 Austria Vienna games / 17 Lask Linz games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Austria Vienna 47% | Draw 25% | Lask Linz 28%. Fair-value odds: Austria Vienna 2.13 | Draw 4.00 | Lask Linz 3.57. Austria Vienna hold a narrow Poisson edge at 47% — the draw (25%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 54% | BTTS probability 57% | Total xG 2.86. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 54%/46% — the total xG of 2.86 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 57% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Analysis Verdict
On the Poisson output, Austria Vienna are the pick at 47% — moderate model lean. With a 25% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Austria Vienna offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 28% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.
Poisson projects 2.86 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 54% probability — Poisson-only — limited corroboration conviction.
The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 57%. Form rates corroborate: Austria Vienna 75% | Lask Linz 75% BTTS from recent games.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Lask Linz beat Austria Vienna 2-3 at Generali Arena, Regular Season - 18, in the Bundesliga. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Austria Vienna 1.64 xG and Lask Linz 1.22 xG, a combined 2.86. The scoreboard read 2-3 for 5 actual goals. Lask Linz outscored their 1.22 projection by 1.8. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Austria Vienna attack 0.97 / defence 1.04 against Lask Linz attack 0.89 / defence 1.40, drawn from 17/17 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Austria Vienna 47% | Draw 25% | Lask Linz 28%, with Austria Vienna to win its most likely call at 47%. The actual Lask Linz win had been the model's second-ranked read at 28%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.
Goals & Markets

Form vs Result
