Both Teams to Score

BTTS — No Won

53.2% model probability

Total Goals

Under 2.5 Goals Lost

58.3% model probability

Both clubs arrive with contrasting recent form – Rapid Vienna have won their last two league outings, Grazer AK have mixed results but struggled to score on the road. The fixture pits a solid home side against an itinerant visitor whose attack has stalled away from the stadium.

Lars's Verdict

Lean

Both teams to score - No Won Solid lean Lean · Defensive edge

The model gives a 53.2% chance that both sides will not score, backed by Rapid’s clean home sheet and Grazer’s zero away scoring average.

Show the maths

Rapid Vienna’s expected goals of 1.0 align with their home average of one goal per game, but more crucially their goals‑against average at home is 0.0, indicating a clean‑sheet likelihood. Grazer AK’s expected goals of 1.35 are inflated by their overall scoring rate, yet their away goals‑for average is 0.0 and they have conceded three per away game, suggesting they rarely keep a clean sheet but also rarely score. Combining these figures yields a BTTS No probability of 53.2%, which the model translates into a modestly favorable pick.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — No (one side kept off the scoresheet) Won 53.2% model probability

With Rapid Vienna averaging 1.0 expected goals and Grazer AK averaging 1.35, the model gives a 53.2% chance at least one side fails to score, ahead of the 46.8% it gives to both teams scoring.

Show the maths

BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Rapid Vienna 1.0, Grazer AK 1.35) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 46.8% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 53.2% where at least one side is shut out.

Pick 3 · Total Goals

Under 2.5 Goals Lost 58.3% model probability

Combined expected goals of 2.4 (Rapid Vienna 1.0 + Grazer AK 1.35) points to a tighter game, with the model giving Under 2.5 Goals a 58.3% chance against 41.7% for Over.

Show the maths

Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Rapid Vienna 1.0 + Grazer AK 1.35 = 2.4 combined): 41.7% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 58.3% finishing with 2 or fewer.

Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Rapid Vienna at 27.7%, the draw at 27.5%, and Grazer AK at 44.8% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 0-1 at 12.9% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Form Guide — Last 5

Rapid Vienna

Rapid Vienna have won their last two league matches – a 1‑0 home win over SCR Altach and a 2‑1 away victory at Ried – showing both offensive consistency and defensive solidity. Those wins, especially the shut‑out at home, reinforce the expectation that they will keep a clean sheet, supporting a No‑BTTS outcome.

Grazer AK

WLW

Grazer AK’s recent five games include a 3‑0 away win over FC BW Linz, a 0‑3 away loss to Lask Linz, and a 2‑1 home win over Austria Lustenau, highlighting volatility but a zero away scoring average overall. Their inability to score in the 0‑3 defeat underlines the difficulty they face away, bolstering the case for a No‑BTTS result.

Head-to-Head

In the latest head‑to‑head, Grazer AK beat Rapid Vienna 2‑1 in 2025, while the most recent draw was 1‑1 in 2025; the mixed record leans toward Grazer scoring, yet the overall trend of low‑scoring games supports a No‑BTTS read.
