Austria Wien II vs Schwarz-Weiß Bregenz: match statistics

Schwarz-Weiß Bregenz have the better overall recent run, collecting 10 points and scoring 11 goals in their last 5 matches, compared with Austria Wien II’s 6 goals and 6 points. However, the visitors’ clearly poor away form could prove decisive: in two such matches, they failed to score, did not win either game, and conceded an average of 2.5 goals. Austria Wien II score an average of 1.5 goals at home, while their average xG is 1.05, compared with 1.20 for Bregenz away, indicating a similar quality of chances created. The hosts are also far from consistent defensively, having kept no clean sheets and conceding an average of 2 goals, but their opponents scored in just 0% of away matches. Home advantage and Bregenz’s problems in front of goal away from home slightly favour an Austria Wien II victory.

The signal for both teams to score is driven primarily by Austria Wien II’s defensive weakness: they have kept no clean sheets, concede an average of 1.5 goals, and allow opponents an average xG of 1.44. Schwarz-Weiß Bregenz have scored an average of 2.2 goals in their last five matches, with an xG of 1.69, while the hosts have conceded 1.6 goals per game during this period. Austria Wien II also average 5.5 shots on target and 1.77 xG per match, while Bregenz allow an average of 1.5 xG, giving the hosts a realistic basis for finding the net. Against BTTS is the visitors’ season record, in which they have failed to score and finished without a goal in 100% of matches, although their recent attacking form is clearly stronger. BTTS figures of 60% for the hosts and 40% for the visitors across their last five matches slightly support a scenario in which both sides find the back of the net.

The match profile points to an expected total of 2.95 goals, as Austria Wien II create chances worth an average of 1.77 xG at home, while Bregenz allow opponents 1.50 xG. In their last five matches, both teams recorded games with at least three goals in 80% of cases, with an average of 2.8 goals in Austria Wien II matches and 3.8 in Bregenz matches. During this period, the visitors scored an average of 2.2 goals and generated 1.69 xG, offsetting their weaker record in previous away appearances. Austria Wien II average 16 shots at home, including 5.5 on target, so even with potentially inconsistent finishing, the strongest signal remains Over 1.5 goals.

The strongest HT/FT scenario appears to be a draw at half-time followed by a Schwarz-Weiß Bregenz win, as the visitors have averaged 2.2 goals and won 60% of their matches over their last five fixtures, while Austria Wien II have averaged 1.2 goals and suffered defeat in 60% of those games. The first half should be more evenly contested: a draw at the break occurred in 20% of each team’s last five matches, while the hosts conceded just 0.6 goals before half-time during this period. After the break, however, the form advantage shifts to the visitors, who have averaged 1.0 goal in second halves, compared with just 0.2 for Austria Wien II. The hosts have posted better figures from a very small home sample, including an xG of 1.77 versus the opponents’ 1.20 and 5.5 shots on target per match compared with 2.5, but Bregenz’s current form and Austria Wien II’s weaker late-game performances support a turnaround in the visitors’ favour after half-time.
