Both teams have scored in 100% of their matches — an extremely high rate that makes BTTS Yes a well-supported standalone angle from their form alone.

Both teams have scored in 70% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture. Their home PPG of 2.10 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.00 — Rapid Vienna are significantly better at home than their overall form suggests.

SCR Altach — last 10 games: 1W 5D 4L — 0.80 PPG. Last five: L W D D L. Their scoring rate of 0.60 per game is modest, conceding 1.10 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%).

SCR Altach's away record over their last 10 away games: 1W 4D 5L (0.70 PPG). Away from home they average 0.60 goals scored and 1.60 conceded per game.

The form figures are too closely matched to derive a directional pick: Rapid Vienna 1.00 PPG, SCR Altach 0.80 PPG. Look to other data sets to build the analysis.

H2H Record

The head-to-head sample comes down firmly in favour of Rapid Vienna: 3 wins from 3 H2H matches against 0 for SCR Altach, with 0 draws. With only 3 H2H matches to go on, treat this as a light input.

The 3 H2H matches in our data have been tight, averaging just 1.7 goals per game — a meaningful input for the Under 2.5 market. The most recent of those, on 19 Feb 2023, ended Rapid Vienna 3–0 SCR Altach — a Rapid Vienna win.

The head-to-head data gives Rapid Vienna an edge — 3 wins from 3 H2H matches is worth weighing, particularly if the form picture is inconclusive.

In-Play Profile

Rapid Vienna in-play tendencies (last 33 games, 16 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 81% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 100% of the time; of the 8 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 38%; BTTS occurs in 69% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 56% of games (home games).

SCR Altach in-play tendencies (last 33 games, 16 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 62% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 73% of the time; of the 4 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 100%; BTTS occurs in 50% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 62% of games (away games); they fail to score in 39% of games.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Rapid Vienna 67% versus SCR Altach 52%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Rapid Vienna 58% | SCR Altach 48%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Rapid Vienna 1.45 xG and SCR Altach 1.41 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: Rapid Vienna attack 1.090 / defence 0.971 | SCR Altach attack 0.916 / defence 1.101. League average goals — home 1.210 / away 1.589. Data: built from Rapid Vienna's last 23 games and SCR Altach's last 23. Some of those games are older results, so treat these probabilities as directional rather than precise.

Result probabilities: Rapid Vienna 37% | Draw 28% | SCR Altach 35%. Fair-value odds: Rapid Vienna 2.72 | Draw 3.54 | SCR Altach 2.85. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 28% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 55% | BTTS Yes probability 60% | Total xG 2.86. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 55% — the 2.86 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 60% — both xG figures (1.45 / 1.41) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates Rapid Vienna as the most likely outcome at 37% — marginal model lean. The head-to-head data (Rapid Vienna 3 wins from 3 H2H matches) corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 28% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Rapid Vienna offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 35% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.86 combined xG gives a 55% probability to Over 2.5 — mixed conviction, supported by recent form (Rapid Vienna's last 10 home games and SCR Altach's last 10 away games) averaging 3.0 goals per game — though the H2H data averaging only 1.7 goals per game across 3 H2H matches points the other way.

Poisson assigns a 60% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Rapid Vienna 70% (last 10 home games) | SCR Altach 40% (last 10 away games).

The Poisson model's sample (Rapid Vienna 23 games, SCR Altach 23) includes some older results, so its projections carry extra uncertainty — weight recent form and the odds accordingly.
