✍️ Match Preview
Analysis
Grazer AK make the trip to Hofmann Personal Stadion to face FC BW Linz in Bundesliga (Relegation Group - 32). The match kicks off on Saturday 16 May 2026 at 17:00 UK time.
Form
FC BW Linz (all games): 4W 3D 3L across their last 10 — 1.50 PPG. Last five: D W W L D. Offensively they are averaging 1.80 goals per game, with 1.10 conceded. 4 clean sheets in 10 games (40%) reflects a solid defensive base.
FC BW Linz's form when playing at home: 5W 1D 4L across their last 10 home games (1.60 PPG). They are averaging 2.10 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans.
Grazer AK have collected 1.40 PPG across their last 10 games: 4W 2D 4L. Last five: D L L W D. They are scoring at 1.70 per game and conceding 1.10. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%).
Grazer AK's away record over their last 10 away games: 2W 1D 7L (0.70 PPG). Away from home they average 1.20 goals scored and 1.50 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context. Their away PPG of 0.70 is notably below their overall 1.40 — form away from home has been a clear weakness recently.
Neither side holds a meaningful form edge. The 1.50 vs 1.40 PPG split is negligible — model and market signals should carry more analytical weight for this one.
H2H Analysis
The head-to-head record is closely matched — across the 5 H2H matches in our data, Grazer AK edge it 3 wins to 1, with 1 draw. Neither side has a commanding advantage.
These two sides have produced goals at a healthy rate, averaging 3.4 per game across the 5 H2H matches we hold. That scoring profile supports the Over 2.5 angle. The most recent of those, on 4 Apr 2026, ended FC BW Linz 1–2 Grazer AK — a Grazer AK win.
With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H signal is in the goals market — at 3.4 goals per game, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle from the head-to-head data.
Trading Data
FC BW Linz goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 63 games, 31 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 77% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 81% of the time; of the 13 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 31%; BTTS occurs in 48% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 61% of games (home games); they fail to score in 30% of games.
Grazer AK goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 63 games, 31 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 64% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 65% of the time; BTTS occurs in 58% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 55% of games (away games); they fail to score in 32% of games.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — FC BW Linz 51% versus Grazer AK 62%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (FC BW Linz 54% | Grazer AK 56%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects FC BW Linz 1.53 xG and Grazer AK 1.17 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: FC BW Linz attack 1.033 / defence 1.188 | Grazer AK attack 0.861 / defence 1.102. League average goals — home 1.346 / away 1.147. Data: built from FC BW Linz's last 44 games and Grazer AK's last 44.
Result probabilities: FC BW Linz 45% | Draw 27% | Grazer AK 28%. Fair-value odds: FC BW Linz 2.23 | Draw 3.76 | Grazer AK 3.51. FC BW Linz hold a narrow Poisson edge at 45% — the draw (27%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 51% | BTTS Yes probability 55% | Total xG 2.71. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 51%/49% — the total xG of 2.71 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 55% 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 FC BW Linz as the most likely outcome at 45% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 27% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on FC BW Linz if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 28% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.
On the goals line, Poisson's 2.71 combined xG gives a 51% probability to Over 2.5 — strong conviction, supported by recent form (FC BW Linz's last 10 home games and Grazer AK's last 10 away games) averaging 3.0 goals per game and the H2H data averaging 3.4 goals per game across 5 H2H matches.
The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 55%. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: FC BW Linz 50% (last 10 home games) | Grazer AK 60% (last 10 away games).

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Grazer AK beat FC BW Linz 0-3 at Hofmann Personal Stadion, Relegation Group - 32, 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 FC BW Linz 1.53 xG and Grazer AK 1.17 xG, a combined 2.71. The scoreboard read 0-3 for 3 actual goals. FC BW Linz fell 1.5 short of their projected output. Grazer AK outscored their 1.17 projection by 1.8. Those figures were built on strength ratings of FC BW Linz attack 1.03 / defence 1.19 against Grazer AK attack 0.86 / defence 1.10, drawn from 44/44 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it FC BW Linz 45% | Draw 27% | Grazer AK 28%, with FC BW Linz to win its most likely call at 45%. The actual Grazer AK 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
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 51%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 76% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 55% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 55% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (FC BW Linz 54%, Grazer AK 56%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 56%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
FC BW Linz's trading profile (63 games, 31 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 51% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 30% of games, a blank that repeated today.
Grazer AK's trading profile (63 games, 31 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 62% of their matches — today it did not.
Form vs Result
The form lines were close — FC BW Linz 1.06 PPG, Grazer AK 0.98 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Grazer AK win broke the near-deadlock. FC BW Linz (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.61 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 3 against a 1.26 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Grazer AK (home/away splits) scored 3 against a 1.00 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 0 against a 1.77 average — tighter than their form line.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (miss). The data was on the wrong side of this result more often than not — a reminder that a single match sits well inside the model's variance.
