✍️ Match Preview
Analysis
Austria Vienna make the trip to Merkur-Arena to face Sturm Graz in Bundesliga (Championship Group - 29). The match kicks off on Sunday 26 April 2026 at 17:00 UK time.
Form
Sturm Graz (all games): 4W 5D 1L across their last 10 — 1.70 PPG. Last five: D W D D D. Offensively they are averaging 1.50 goals per game, with 0.80 conceded. Defensively, conceding just 0.80 per game is an exceptional defensive record. 4 clean sheets in 10 games (40%) reflects a solid defensive base.
Sturm Graz's home record over their last 10 home games: 4W 4D 2L (1.60 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.10 goals scored and 1.00 conceded per game. 4 home clean sheets from their last 10 home games (40%) — a solid defensive base on their own ground. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture.
Austria Vienna have collected 1.10 PPG across their last 10 games: 3W 2D 5L. Last five: W L D L L. Their scoring rate of 1.40 per game is modest, conceding 2.00 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. Conceding 2.00 per game is a high rate — their defence has been exposed regularly. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings (30%). Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.
Austria Vienna's away record over their last 10 away games: 5W 0D 5L (1.50 PPG). Away from home they average 1.60 goals scored and 1.70 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 70% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture.
The form ledger tips toward Sturm Graz. A 0.60 PPG lead over Austria Vienna (1.70 vs 1.10) is a consistent enough margin to carry weight. If the win odds appear compressed, Draw No Bet offers draw insurance at a lower cost than a full switch to Double Chance.
In terms of goals, both squads have been finding the net consistently (from Sturm Graz's last 10 home games and Austria Vienna's last 10 away games) — Sturm Graz have seen both teams score in 60% of their games, Austria Vienna in 70%. That combined rate is a strong statistical case for BTTS Yes as a standalone play.
Head-to-Head
Across the 8 H2H matches in our data, Austria Vienna have the stronger record — 5 wins to Sturm Graz's 1, with 2 draws.
Goals have been a feature of this fixture — the 8 H2H matches in our data averaged 3.1 per game, which gives Over 2.5 a solid head-to-head foundation. The most recent of those, on 15 Mar 2026, ended Sturm Graz 5–2 Austria Vienna — a Sturm Graz win.
The H2H data backs the away side. Austria Vienna have won 5 of 8 H2H matches, and at 3.1 goals per game the goals market also points upward — the away win and Over 2.5 combination has a head-to-head case.
Trading & In-Play
Sturm Graz — key trading statistics (last 60 games, 30 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 67% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 94% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 56% of those occasions; they lead at the break 45% of the time; of the 27 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 26%; of the 12 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 33%; BTTS occurs in 57% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games (home games).
Austria Vienna — key trading statistics (last 60 games, 30 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 70% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 87% of the time; of the 20 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 25%; BTTS occurs in 57% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games (away games).
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Sturm Graz 58% versus Austria Vienna 58%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Sturm Graz 55% | Austria Vienna 58%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Sturm Graz 1.22 xG and Austria Vienna 1.28 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: Sturm Graz attack 0.966 / defence 0.930 | Austria Vienna attack 1.204 / defence 0.937. League average goals — home 1.346 / away 1.147. Austria Vienna have an above-average attack rating of 1.204, which lifts their away xG to 1.28. Data: built from Sturm Graz's last 44 games and Austria Vienna's last 44.
Result probabilities: Sturm Graz 34% | Draw 28% | Austria Vienna 37%. Fair-value odds: Sturm Graz 2.92 | Draw 3.52 | Austria Vienna 2.68. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 28% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 46% | BTTS Yes probability 52% | Total xG 2.50. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 46%/54% — the total xG of 2.50 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 52% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Picks & Verdict
Austria Vienna have the better head-to-head record in our data (5 wins to 1), but Sturm Graz carry stronger current form — do not let the head-to-head record alone dictate your assessment.
On the Poisson output, Austria Vienna are the pick at 37% — marginal model lean. The head-to-head data (Austria Vienna 5 wins from 8 H2H matches) corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Note a divergence: in-form Sturm Graz (1.70 PPG) cuts against the Poisson lean — the model adjusts for opposition strength, which raw form results do not. Draw probability of 28% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Austria Vienna if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 34% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.
On the goals line, Poisson's 2.50 combined xG gives a 54% probability to Under 2.5 — low conviction — though the H2H data averaging 3.1 goals per game across 8 H2H matches points the other way.
The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 52%. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Sturm Graz 60% (last 10 home games) | Austria Vienna 70% (last 10 away games).

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
The points were shared at Merkur-Arena, Championship Group - 29, as Sturm Graz and Austria Vienna drew 1-1 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 Sturm Graz 1.22 xG and Austria Vienna 1.28 xG, a combined 2.50. The scoreboard read 1-1 for 2 actual goals. Both sides finished within a goal of their individual projections, so the scoreline sat close to the model's expected shape. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Sturm Graz attack 0.97 / defence 0.93 against Austria Vienna attack 1.20 / defence 0.94, drawn from 44/44 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Sturm Graz 34% | Draw 28% | Austria Vienna 37%, with Austria Vienna to win its most likely call at 37%. The actual draw 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 46%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 72% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 52% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 57% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Sturm Graz 55%, Austria Vienna 58%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 58%, which matched the both-scored outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Sturm Graz's trading profile (60 games, 30 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 58% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 32% of the time, and conceded here.
Austria Vienna's trading profile (60 games, 30 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 58% of their matches — today it did.
Form vs Result
The form lines were close — Sturm Graz 1.85 PPG, Austria Vienna 1.67 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the draw fit that even billing. Sturm Graz (home/away splits) managed 1 against a 1.90 scoring average — below par going forward.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit). A mixed scorecard — the data caught the broad shape of the game but not every market.
