View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

The BTTS - No scenario is primarily supported by Voluntari’s very limited offensive potential: the visitors score just 0.33 goals on average, generate 0.62 xG, and record only 1.33 shots on target per match. Voluntari have failed to score in 67% of their matches this season, while BTTS has occurred in just 33% of their games. Rapid have conceded an average of 0.4 goals over their last 5 matches and have kept a clean sheet in 40% of their fixtures this season, further reducing the visitors’ chances of scoring. The hosts should find the net, however, as they create an average of 1.58 xG, while Voluntari allow opponents 2.60 xG and concede as many as 4.0 goals per match. Although Rapid’s season BTTS rate stands at 60%, BTTS has landed in only 20% of their last 5 matches, making a home win with no goal from the visitors the more likely outcome.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

Rapid have a clear advantage in chance creation: the hosts average 15.0 shots and 5.0 shots on target, while Voluntari manage only 5.67 shots and 1.33 shots on target. The visitors’ away defense concedes as many as 4.0 goals per match, with average xG conceded of 2.60, which should provide Rapid with plenty of scoring opportunities. Voluntari score just 0.33 goals per away game and have failed to score in 67% of such matches, so the majority of the projected goal output lies with the hosts. The 1.5 line has been covered in 60% of Rapid’s matches and in all of Voluntari’s away fixtures, while both teams have 100% of matches featuring at least one goal. However, Rapid’s last five matches have been defensively strong, conceding an average of just 0.4 goals, which reduces confidence in higher lines and reinforces the Over 1.5 selection.

View Over/Under statistics
HT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario

The most likely HT/FT outcome is a draw at half-time followed by a Rapid win: in their last five matches, the hosts were level at the break in 80% of games and failed to score before half-time in any of them. At the same time, Rapid improve significantly after the interval, averaging 1.2 goals scored and conceding just 0.2 in the second halves of their last five matches. In the home-match data, the hosts have an xG of 1.58, averaging 15 shots and 5 on target, while Voluntari create just 0.62 xG away from home and average 1.33 shots on target. Voluntari’s season-long away record also supports Rapid, as the visitors have lost every match, conceded an average of 4.0 goals and have never held a lead at the break.
