FC BW Linz (all games): 3W 3D 4L across their last 10 — 1.20 points per game. Last five: W D L D W. Their scoring rate of 0.90 per game is modest, conceding 1.80 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 4 clean sheets in 10 outings (40%) underlines their defensive solidity. Both teams have scored in just 30% of their games, reflecting a regular tendency to keep or record clean sheets.

The form ledger tips toward TSV Hartberg. A 0.50 PPG lead over FC BW Linz (1.70 vs 1.20) 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.
H2H Analysis
The head-to-head record is closely matched — across the 1 H2H match in our data, the wins are level at 0 apiece, with 1 draw. Neither side has a commanding advantage. With only 1 H2H match to go on, treat this as a light input.
These two sides have produced goals at a healthy rate, averaging 6.0 per game across the 1 H2H match we hold. That scoring profile supports the Over 2.5 angle. The most recent of those, on 6 Aug 2023, ended TSV Hartberg 3–3 FC BW Linz — a draw.
With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H signal is in the goals market — at 6.0 goals per game, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle from the head-to-head data.
Trading
TSV Hartberg half-time and goal-timing data (last 12 games, 6 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 50% of the time; of the 4 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 50%; BTTS occurs in 50% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 83% of games (home games); they keep a clean sheet 50% of the time.
FC BW Linz half-time and goal-timing data (last 12 games, 6 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 83% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 33% of the time; BTTS occurs in 50% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 67% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 42%; they fail to score in 42% of games.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — TSV Hartberg 42% versus FC BW Linz 42%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (TSV Hartberg 75% | FC BW Linz 50%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects TSV Hartberg 1.88 xG and FC BW Linz 1.41 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: TSV Hartberg attack 1.046 / defence 1.151 | FC BW Linz attack 0.918 / defence 1.470. League average goals — home 1.223 / away 1.331. FC BW Linz's defence rating of 1.470 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing TSV Hartberg's projected output up. Data: built from TSV Hartberg's last 34 games and FC BW Linz's last 12.
Result probabilities: TSV Hartberg 48% | Draw 24% | FC BW Linz 28%. Fair-value odds: TSV Hartberg 2.10 | Draw 4.10 | FC BW Linz 3.59. TSV Hartberg hold a narrow Poisson edge at 48% — the draw (24%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 64% | BTTS Yes probability 65% | Total xG 3.29. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 64% — the 3.29 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 65% — both xG figures (1.88 / 1.41) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.
Verdict
The Poisson model's primary lean is TSV Hartberg at 48% — moderate model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 24% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on TSV Hartberg 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 3.29 combined xG gives a 64% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (TSV Hartberg's last 10 home games and FC BW Linz's last 6 away games) averaging 3.4 goals per game.
The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 65%. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: TSV Hartberg 40% (last 10 home games) | FC BW Linz 50% (last 6 away games).
