📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Red Bull Salzburg beat Rapid Vienna 0-2 at Allianz Stadion, Championship Round - 1, in the Bundesliga. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Rapid Vienna 1.52 xG and Red Bull Salzburg 0.81 xG, a combined 2.33. The scoreboard read 0-2 for 2 actual goals. Rapid Vienna fell 1.5 short of their projected output. Red Bull Salzburg outscored their 0.81 projection by 1.2. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Rapid Vienna attack 1.23 / defence 0.84 against Red Bull Salzburg attack 0.80 / defence 0.77, drawn from 44/44 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Rapid Vienna 51% | Draw 32% | Red Bull Salzburg 17%, with Rapid Vienna to win its most likely call at 51%. Instead the game produced a Red Bull Salzburg win, an outcome the model had rated at just 17% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 41%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 70% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 46% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 45% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Rapid Vienna 43%, Red Bull Salzburg 48%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 47%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Rapid Vienna's trading profile (54 games, 27 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 48% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 35% of the time, and conceded here.

Red Bull Salzburg's trading profile (54 games, 27 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 46% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 44% of the time, and duly kept one.

Form vs Result

On form, Red Bull Salzburg arrived the stronger side — 1.94 PPG against 1.46. The form guide was vindicated by the result. Rapid Vienna (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.67 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 2 against a 1.11 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Red Bull Salzburg (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.15 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict
