Match Analysis

WSG Wattens host Rapid Vienna at Tivoli Stadion Tirol in Bundesliga, Regular Season - 19. Kick-off is scheduled for Saturday 6 February 2027 at 16:00 UTC.

Form Guide

WSG Wattens — All Games: 2W 3D 5L from 10 Bundesliga outings this season, averaging 0.90 points per game. Last five: D W L D L. They are averaging 0.90 goals per game and conceding 2.20 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. However, 2.20 goals conceded per game is a concern — opposing attacks have exploited them regularly. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. WSG Wattens haven't played a Bundesliga game yet this season, so this record is entirely from last season.

At home at Tivoli Stadion Tirol, WSG Wattens have gone 4W 4D 2L this season (10 games, 1.60 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.30 goals scored and 1.40 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture. Their home PPG of 1.60 is noticeably stronger than their overall 0.90 — WSG Wattens are significantly better at Tivoli Stadion Tirol than their overall form suggests.

Looking at all fixtures this season, Rapid Vienna stand at 2W 2D 6L from 10 Bundesliga matches — 0.80 PPG. Last five: L L L L W. Their scoring rate of 0.90 per game is modest, conceding 1.60 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Rapid Vienna haven't played a Bundesliga game yet this season, so this record is entirely from last season.

Rapid Vienna away from home this season: 1W 4D 5L from 10 away games — 0.70 PPG on the road. Away from home they average 0.80 goals scored and 1.70 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context.

There is minimal separation in the form figures — WSG Wattens at 0.90 PPG versus Rapid Vienna's 0.80. The form guide is not providing a strong directional steer; the model and market data will carry more weight in the final assessment.

The BTTS market is worth targeting here. WSG Wattens register both teams scoring in 60% of relevant matches, Rapid Vienna in 60% (using home/away splits) — both sides above the 60% threshold gives BTTS Yes firm statistical grounding.

H2H Record

Rapid Vienna have tended to come out on top in this fixture, winning 7 of the last 10 encounters against WSG Wattens's 0 victories.

The 10 previous meetings have averaged 2.6 goals per game — a neutral rate that provides no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent clash, on 9 Nov 2025, ended 1–1 with a draw.

It is worth noting that Rapid Vienna have a superior record in this fixture despite their visitor status — 7 wins from 10 meetings. Home advantage alone is not a sufficient reason to dismiss that track record.

In-Play Data

WSG Wattens trading profile (32 games, 16 at home): they score before half-time in 88% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 50% of the time; BTTS occurs in 69% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 38%.

Rapid Vienna trading profile (32 games, 16 at away): they score before half-time in 75% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 88% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 62% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 38% of games (away games).

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — WSG Wattens 59% versus Rapid Vienna 53%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (WSG Wattens 50% | Rapid Vienna 41%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects WSG Wattens 1.37 xG and Rapid Vienna 1.08 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: WSG Wattens attack 0.999 / defence 0.976 | Rapid Vienna attack 0.971 / defence 0.997. League average goals — home 1.375 / away 1.145. Data: 22 WSG Wattens games / 22 Rapid Vienna games used (PrevSeason). Note: current-season sample is too small — prior-season data is carrying the calculation. Model confidence is reduced; treat probabilities as directional rather than precise.

Result probabilities: WSG Wattens 43% | Draw 28% | Rapid Vienna 29%. Fair-value odds: WSG Wattens 2.33 | Draw 3.57 | Rapid Vienna 3.45. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 28% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 44% | BTTS probability 50% | Total xG 2.45. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 56% — total xG of 2.45 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 50% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Analysis Verdict

On the Poisson output, WSG Wattens are the pick at 43% — marginal model lean. With a 28% draw probability, Draw No Bet on WSG Wattens offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 29% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

Poisson projects 2.45 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 44% probability — Poisson-only — limited corroboration conviction.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is No at 50%. This conflicts with form data: WSG Wattens 60% | Rapid Vienna 60% from recent games — a notable divergence.

The Poisson model is drawing on PrevSeason data (22 games minimum) — early-season projections carry additional uncertainty. Weight the live form and odds signals accordingly.
