Fixture Analysis

It is a Bundesliga clash, Regular Season - 20 as Grazer AK welcome Austria Vienna to Merkur Arena. Kick-off is set for Saturday 1 March 2025 at 16:00 UTC.

Recent Form

Across all Bundesliga games this season, Grazer AK have gone 3W 3D 4L from 10 outings — a 1.20 PPG return. Last five: L L W D L. They are averaging 1.40 goals per game and conceding 2.00 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. However, 2.00 goals conceded per game is a concern — opposing attacks have exploited them regularly. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets. This season is still relatively young for Grazer AK, so this record blends games from this season and last.

Grazer AK at Merkur Arena this season: 1W 4D 4L from 9 home games — 0.78 PPG on home soil. At home they are averaging 1.22 goals scored and 1.78 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 67% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture.

Looking at all fixtures this season, Austria Vienna stand at 8W 1D 1L from 10 Bundesliga matches — 2.50 PPG. Last five: W W D W L. They are scoring at 1.80 per game and conceding 0.60. Defensively, 0.60 goals conceded per game is elite-level — a side this difficult to score against is a real threat to Over 2.5 and BTTS Yes. 5 clean sheets from 10 games (50%) is an exceptional defensive record — they are keeping clean sheets more often than not. This season is still relatively young for Austria Vienna, so this record blends games from this season and last.

On the road, Austria Vienna have gone 4W 3D 3L from 10 away fixtures this term (1.50 PPG). Away from home they average 1.10 goals scored and 1.00 conceded per game. Their away PPG of 1.50 is notably below their overall 2.50 — form away from home has been a clear weakness this season.

Form points away from home here. Austria Vienna's 2.50 PPG return is 1.30 points per game ahead of Grazer AK's 1.20 — the visitors are the form-based selection, and Double Chance is an alternative worth pricing if the outright looks tight.

H2H

The rivalry is an even one: 0 wins apiece for Grazer AK, 1 for Austria Vienna and 0 shared spoils from 1 past contests. Neither side holds a meaningful historical edge.

Goals have been a feature of this fixture. The last 1 meetings have averaged 3.0 per game — a rate that gives the Over 2.5 market a solid historical foundation. The most recent clash, on 5 Oct 2024, ended 1–2 with Austria Vienna winning.

With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H-derived signal is in the goals market. At 3.0 goals per game historically, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle to extract from the head-to-head data.

In-Play Profile

Grazer AK in-play tendencies (19 games, 9 at home): they score before half-time in 78% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 40% of the time; BTTS occurs in 67% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 56% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 37%.

Austria Vienna in-play tendencies (19 games, 9 at away): they score before half-time in 67% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 100% of the time; BTTS occurs in 56% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 33% of games (away games).

From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Grazer AK 74% and Austria Vienna 58% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Grazer AK 63% | Austria Vienna 58%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Grazer AK 0.99 xG and Austria Vienna 1.58 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: Grazer AK attack 0.775 / defence 1.216 | Austria Vienna attack 1.088 / defence 0.880. League average goals — home 1.447 / away 1.192. Grazer AK's attack strength of 0.775 is below the league average — the 0.99 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Data: 19 Grazer AK games / 41 Austria Vienna games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Grazer AK 20% | Draw 32% | Austria Vienna 48%. Fair-value odds: Grazer AK 5.00 | Draw 3.12 | Austria Vienna 2.08. Austria Vienna hold a narrow Poisson edge at 48% — the draw (32%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 47% | BTTS probability 53% | Total xG 2.56. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 47%/53% — the total xG of 2.56 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 53% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates Austria Vienna as the most likely outcome at 48% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 32% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Austria Vienna offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.56 combined xG gives a 47% probability to Under 2.5 — Poisson-only — limited corroboration.

Poisson assigns a 53% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Grazer AK 67% | Austria Vienna 50% BTTS from recent games.
