✍️ Match Preview
Pre-Match Analysis
Austria Vienna and Sturm Graz meet at Generali Arena in Bundesliga (Championship Group - 23). This fixture gets under way on Sunday 15 March 2026 at 16:00 UK time.
Current Form
Austria Vienna's record over their last 10 games: 6W 2D 2L (2.00 PPG). Last five: W W L D W. Offensively they are averaging 1.80 goals per game, with 1.00 conceded. 4 clean sheets in 10 games (40%) reflects a solid defensive base. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.
At home, Austria Vienna have gone 5W 2D 3L in their last 10 home games (1.70 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.40 goals scored and 1.30 conceded per game.
Sturm Graz (all games): 5W 1D 4L across their last 10 — 1.60 points per game. Last five: W L W D W. Their scoring rate of 1.20 per game is modest, conceding 1.30 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 4 clean sheets in 10 outings (40%) underlines their defensive solidity.
On the road, Sturm Graz have gone 6W 1D 3L in their last 10 away fixtures (1.90 PPG). They are averaging 1.90 goals per away game — strong road scoring that makes them a threat even without home support. 4 clean sheets from their last 10 away games (40%) shows they are capable of shutting up shop on the road.
Neither side holds a meaningful form edge. The 2.00 vs 1.60 PPG split is negligible — model and market signals should carry more analytical weight for this one.
H2H History
The head-to-head record in our data favours Austria Vienna, who have won 5 of the 7 H2H matches we hold against Sturm Graz — Sturm Graz have 0 wins, with 2 draws.
The 7 H2H matches in our data averaged 2.6 goals per game — a neutral rate that gives no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent of those, on 14 Dec 2025, ended Austria Vienna 3–1 Sturm Graz — a Austria Vienna win.
The head-to-head data gives Austria Vienna an edge — 5 wins from 7 H2H matches is worth weighing, particularly if the form picture is inconclusive.
Trading Data
Austria Vienna goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 54 games, 27 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 78% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 87% of the time; of the 16 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 31%; BTTS occurs in 56% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 67% of games (home games).
Sturm Graz goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 54 games, 27 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 78% of their matches 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 57% of those occasions; of the 24 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 25%; of the 12 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 33%; BTTS occurs in 59% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 63% of games (away games).
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Austria Vienna 56% versus Sturm Graz 57%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Austria Vienna 57% | Sturm Graz 59%). Note also that Sturm Graz surrender HT leads in 25% of cases while Austria Vienna recover from half-time deficits to draw or win 31% of the time — a dynamic that could influence in-play positioning.
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Austria Vienna 1.48 xG and Sturm Graz 1.32 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 1.086 / defence 1.009 | Sturm Graz attack 1.136 / defence 1.012. League average goals — home 1.346 / away 1.147. Data: built from Austria Vienna's last 44 games and Sturm Graz's last 44.
Result probabilities: Austria Vienna 40% | Draw 27% | Sturm Graz 33%. Fair-value odds: Austria Vienna 2.48 | Draw 3.75 | Sturm Graz 3.03. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 27% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 53% | BTTS Yes probability 57% | Total xG 2.79. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 53%/47% — the total xG of 2.79 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 57% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Final Verdict
Poisson rates Austria Vienna as the most likely outcome at 40% — marginal model lean. The head-to-head data (Austria Vienna 5 wins from 7 H2H matches) corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 27% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Austria Vienna if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 33% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.
The Poisson model projects 2.79 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 53% — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (Austria Vienna's last 10 home games and Sturm Graz's last 10 away games) averaging 2.9 goals per game.
Poisson assigns a 57% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: Austria Vienna 50% (last 10 home games) | Sturm Graz 50% (last 10 away games).

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Sturm Graz beat Austria Vienna 2-5 at Generali Arena, Championship Group - 23, in the Bundesliga. The remainder of the report sets that outcome against the pre-match model, the markets and the teams' data profiles.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Austria Vienna 1.48 xG and Sturm Graz 1.32 xG, a combined 2.79. The scoreboard read 2-5 for 7 actual goals. Sturm Graz outscored their 1.32 projection by 3.7. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Austria Vienna attack 1.09 / defence 1.01 against Sturm Graz attack 1.14 / defence 1.01, drawn from 44/44 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Austria Vienna 40% | Draw 27% | Sturm Graz 33%, with Austria Vienna to win its most likely call at 40%. The actual Sturm Graz win had been the model's second-ranked read at 33%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 53%. The game delivered 7, so it went over — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 78% and landed. Over 3.5 was 31% and came in. On both teams to score, the model sat at 57% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 58% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Austria Vienna 57%, Sturm Graz 59%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 56%, which matched the both-scored outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Austria Vienna's trading profile (54 games, 27 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 56% of their matches — today it did.
Sturm Graz's trading profile (54 games, 27 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 57% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 32% of the time, and conceded here.
Form vs Result
The form lines were close — Austria Vienna 1.78 PPG, Sturm Graz 1.87 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Sturm Graz win broke the near-deadlock. Austria Vienna (home/away splits) shipped 5 against a 1.15 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Sturm Graz (home/away splits) scored 5 against a 1.63 average — above their attacking norm.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit). Partial vindication: some calls landed, others slipped.
