Liefering vs Admira: match statistics

Liefering averages 2.0 goals per home match and xG 1.75 with 14.86 shots (5.43 on target) and 57% possession, reflecting dominance in chance creation. Admira, however, shows significantly better defensive numbers away — just 0.79 goals conceded per match, 36% clean sheets and xG against 1.10, while the hosts concede 1.64 goals at home and have 29% clean sheets. In the short term Liefering scored 9 goals in the last 5 matches with a record of 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss and an average of 2.0 points per match, whereas Admira has 1 win and 4 draws (3 goals in the last 5 and an average of 1.4 points per match), indicating a home advantage in attack but visitors’ solidity in game management. Admira also has 12 draws this season and as many as 50% draws away and 50 goals scored versus Liefering’s 41, which increases the likelihood of a shared result. Therefore I tip a draw (X) as the most probable outcome, with probabilities distributed at approximately 35% home win, 45% draw and 20% away win.

Season-long metrics favor BTTS: Liefering has BTTS at 62%, Admira 57%, and the league average is 51%, indicating a clear seasonal bias towards both teams scoring. Offensive numbers and xG confirm this — Liefering averages 2.23 goals per game, Admira 1.50 (total 3.73 goals), and combined xG is 1.68 + 1.54 = 3.22, so both sides are creating realistic goal-scoring opportunities. The counterargument is recent form over the last 5 matches: BTTS has dropped to 40% for both, Admira has scored only 3 goals in the last 5 (0.6 per game) and is recently conceding 0.4 goals per game, which reduces their likelihood of scoring. At the same time the home side registers more shots on target (5.15 vs 4.36) and higher shot conversion (15% vs 12%), and xG against is 1.06 for Liefering and 1.10 for Admira, indicating mutual chance creation. Weighing season-long 62%/57% and a high combined xG of 3.22 against the dip to 40% BTTS in form, I project 62% for 'Yes' (BTTS - Yes) and 38% for 'No' (No Goal).

Liefering averages 2.23 goals scored at home, while Admira averages 1.50 away; in xG terms it’s 1.68 for Liefering and 1.54 for Admira. Combining the home attack with the away defense (xG conceded by away sides 1.10 and xG conceded by home sides 1.06) yields expected outputs of ~1.43 goals for Liefering and ~1.26 for Admira, totaling ~2.69 goals. Seasonally, 85% of Liefering’s matches and 71% of Admira’s matches exceed 1.5 goals, and the share of matches in which both teams score is 62% (home) vs 57% (away), which increases the likelihood of goals. A Poisson model on a 2.69 mean gives ~75% probability of at least 2 goals (Over 1.5), ~50% for 3+ goals (Over 2.5) and ~28% for 4+ goals (Over 3.5); therefore the strongest and most reliable signal from the data is Over 1.5.

Statistics indicate a half-time draw: Liefering averages 0.92 goals by half-time versus Admira’s 0.57, but Admira keeps a half-time clean sheet in 71% of matches and has been level at the break in 100% of their last 5 games, which strongly favors an HT draw. After the break the home side’s advantage increases — Liefering scores an average of 1.31 goals in second halves and wins the second half in 62% of cases; they have also scored 10 goals between the 76th–90th minutes, suggesting significant late-match activity. Overall Liefering averages 2.0 points per home match and a 54% home win rate, while Admira averages 1.57 points per match and a 36% win rate, so I assign a higher probability to a home win after 90 minutes. Based on this, I assigned the highest probability to half-time draw / home win (X/1 — 35%), followed by home/home (1/1 — 20%) and HT/FT draw/draw (X/X — 15%); options resulting in an away win received low shares due to form and statistics (e.g., the visitors have only a 20% win rate in their last 5 matches).
