Full Analysis

Generali Arena plays host to Austria Vienna versus Rapid Vienna in Bundesliga (Championship Round - 8). Kick-off: Sunday 11 May 2025 at 17:00 UK time.

Form

Austria Vienna (all games): 6W 1D 3L across their last 10 — 1.90 PPG. Last five: L L W W L. They are averaging 1.20 goals per game and conceding 0.90 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 5 clean sheets from 10 games (50%) is a standout defensive return — they are keeping their net clean in more than half their matches. Both teams have scored in just 30% of their matches, indicating a tendency toward clean sheets or low-scoring outcomes.

Austria Vienna at home: 7W 1D 2L from their last 10 home games — 2.20 PPG on home soil. At home they are averaging 1.60 goals scored and 0.70 conceded per game. 5 clean sheets from their last 10 home games (50%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at home.

Rapid Vienna have collected 1.00 PPG across their last 10 games: 3W 1D 6L. Last five: W L L D L. Their scoring rate of 1.30 per game is modest, conceding 1.40 — 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.

Rapid Vienna away from home: 0W 4D 6L from their last 10 away games — 0.40 PPG on the road. Away from home they average 0.90 goals scored and 1.90 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 80% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture. Their away PPG of 0.40 is notably below their overall 1.00 — form away from home has been a clear weakness recently.

The form ledger tips toward Austria Vienna. A 0.90 PPG lead over Rapid Vienna (1.90 vs 1.00) 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 4 H2H matches in our data, Rapid Vienna edge it 3 wins to 1, with 0 draws. Neither side has a commanding advantage.

The 4 H2H matches in our data averaged 2.8 goals per game — a neutral rate that gives no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent of those, on 13 Apr 2025, ended Austria Vienna 0–2 Rapid Vienna — a Rapid Vienna win.

The head-to-head data offers no strong steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the model and current market pricing should carry more weight for this fixture.

Trading

Austria Vienna half-time and goal-timing data (last 61 games, 30 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 63% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 70% of the time; BTTS occurs in 47% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 60% of games (home games).

Rapid Vienna half-time and goal-timing data (last 61 games, 30 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 67% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 78% of the time; of the 21 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 38%; BTTS occurs in 50% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 40% of games (away games).

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Austria Vienna 44% versus Rapid Vienna 46%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Austria Vienna 48% | Rapid Vienna 41%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Austria Vienna 1.66 xG and Rapid Vienna 0.94 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: Austria Vienna attack 1.025 / defence 0.840 | Rapid Vienna attack 0.933 / defence 1.012. League average goals — home 1.597 / away 1.200. Data: built from Austria Vienna's last 44 games and Rapid Vienna's last 44.

Result probabilities: Austria Vienna 51% | Draw 30% | Rapid Vienna 19%. Fair-value odds: Austria Vienna 1.95 | Draw 3.33 | Rapid Vienna 5.38. Austria Vienna hold a narrow Poisson edge at 51% — the draw (30%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 48% | BTTS Yes probability 52% | Total xG 2.60. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 48%/52% — the total xG of 2.60 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.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Austria Vienna as the most likely outcome at 51% — moderate model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 30% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Austria Vienna if the outright odds are short.

The Poisson model projects 2.60 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 52% — low conviction — though the H2H data averaging 2.8 goals per game across 4 H2H matches points the other way.

Poisson assigns a 52% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Austria Vienna 40% (last 10 home games) | Rapid Vienna 80% (last 10 away games).
