Lars's Verdict

Match in progress
WSG Wattens vs TSV Hartberg
Strong
TSV Hartberg to win Solid lean Strong · xG advantage

Hartberg’s higher away xG and the model’s 47% win probability make a victory the most probable outcome.

Show the maths
The model assigns Wattens 0.5 expected goals at home and Hartberg 1.0 away, creating a one‑goal differential that drives the win probability to 47% for Hartberg and 18.1% for Wattens. The draw sits at 34.9%, but the gap between the xG figures explains why the model favours Hartberg’s win. The top scorelines (0‑1 and 0‑2) together account for 33.5% of the probability, reinforcing the expectation of a Hartberg win with clean sheets or a single goal conceded.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — No (one side kept off the scoresheet) 75.1% model probability

With WSG Wattens averaging 0.5 expected goals and TSV Hartberg averaging 1.0, the model gives a 75.1% chance at least one side fails to score, ahead of the 24.9% it gives to both teams scoring.

Show the maths
BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (WSG Wattens 0.5, TSV Hartberg 1.0) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 24.9% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 75.1% where at least one side is shut out.
Pick 3 · Total Goals
Under 2.5 Goals 80.9% model probability

Combined expected goals of 1.5 (WSG Wattens 0.5 + TSV Hartberg 1.0) points to a tighter game, with the model giving Under 2.5 Goals a 80.9% chance against 19.1% for Over.

Show the maths
Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (WSG Wattens 0.5 + TSV Hartberg 1.0 = 1.5 combined): 19.1% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 80.9% finishing with 2 or fewer.
Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has WSG Wattens at 18.1%, the draw at 34.9%, and TSV Hartberg at 47.0% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 0-0 at 22.3% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Form Guide — Last 5

WSG Wattens

DLLWW

Wattens’ last five results DLLWW include a 1‑1 draw at Sturm Graz and a 4‑0 win at Austria Lustenau, showing they can hold a clean sheet but also struggle to score, evidenced by only one goal in the draw. Those performances underline a limited offensive output, supporting the low expected‑goals figure and the modest win probability.

TSV Hartberg

LLLWW

Hartberg’s recent form LLLWW features a 2‑1 away win at SCR Altach and a 3‑2 home win over Ried, demonstrating a capacity to find the net after three defeats. Scoring in both victories aligns with their 1.0 away xG and underpins the model’s belief in their ability to secure a win here.

Head-to-Head

In the last five meetings Hartberg have three wins (2‑1, 3‑2, 1‑3) and one draw (0‑0) against Wattens, indicating a recent head‑to‑head edge that complements the model’s win forecast.
