Full Analysis

Innviertel Arena plays host to Ried versus Grazer AK in Bundesliga (Relegation Group - 28). Kick-off: Tuesday 21 April 2026 at 20:30 UK time.

Current Form

Ried's record over their last 10 games: 2W 4D 4L (1.00 PPG). Last five: W L W D D. They are averaging 1.10 goals per game and conceding 1.40 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%). Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.

Ried at home: 6W 2D 2L from their last 10 home games — 2.00 PPG on home soil. At home they are averaging 1.40 goals scored and 0.90 conceded per game. 4 home clean sheets from their last 10 home games (40%) — a solid defensive base on their own ground. Their home PPG of 2.00 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.00 — Ried are significantly better at home than their overall form suggests.

Grazer AK have collected 1.50 PPG across their last 10 games: 4W 3D 3L. Last five: W W W L D. They are scoring at 1.50 per game and conceding 1.10. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%). Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.

Grazer AK's form when playing away from home: 2W 2D 6L across their last 10 road games (0.80 PPG). Away from home they average 1.10 goals scored and 1.30 conceded per game. Their away PPG of 0.80 is notably below their overall 1.50 — form away from home has been a clear weakness recently.

On a straight form reading, Grazer AK are the stronger side — 0.50 PPG clear of the hosts (1.50 vs 1.00). Backing them with draw insurance is the conservative play if the outright away price appears short.

Head-to-Head

Neither side has dominated the 3 H2H matches in our data: 0 wins for Ried, 1 for Grazer AK and 2 draws — leaving the H2H largely neutral. With only 3 H2H matches to go on, treat this as a light input.

Scoring has been limited in the 3 H2H matches in our data, averaging 1.7 goals per game, which makes Under 2.5 the head-to-head-backed angle in the goals market. The most recent of those, on 17 Apr 2026, ended Ried 1–1 Grazer AK — a draw.

With a balanced win record and just 1.7 goals per game, the H2H data points toward a tight, low-scoring contest — Under 2.5 is the stronger head-to-head angle regardless of which side wins.

Trading & In-Play

Ried — key trading statistics (last 27 games, 13 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 69% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 78% of the time; of the 8 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 50%; of the 8 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 25%; BTTS occurs in 46% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 46% of games (home games).

Grazer AK — key trading statistics (last 27 games, 13 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 71% of the time; BTTS occurs in 46% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 54% of games (away games); they fail to score in 33% of games.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Ried 56% versus Grazer AK 63%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Ried 48% | Grazer AK 56%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Ried 1.20 xG and Grazer AK 1.04 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: Ried attack 0.796 / defence 1.081 | Grazer AK attack 0.838 / defence 1.119. League average goals — home 1.346 / away 1.147. Ried's attack rating of 0.796 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 1.20. Data: built from Ried's last 22 games and Grazer AK's last 44.

Result probabilities: Ried 39% | Draw 30% | Grazer AK 31%. Fair-value odds: Ried 2.58 | Draw 3.30 | Grazer AK 3.24. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 30% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 39% | BTTS Yes probability 46% | Total xG 2.24. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 61% — total xG of 2.24 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS No at 54% is only a slight lean — the model gives both sides a fair chance of scoring, so No isn't a clear standalone call.

Picks & Verdict

On the Poisson output, Ried are the pick at 39% — marginal model lean. Note a divergence: in-form Grazer AK (1.50 PPG) cuts against the Poisson lean — the model adjusts for opposition strength, which raw form results do not. Draw probability of 30% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Ried if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 31% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

Poisson projects 2.24 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 61% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by the H2H data averaging 1.7 goals per game across 3 H2H matches.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 54% on No. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Ried 40% (last 10 home games) | Grazer AK 50% (last 10 away games).
