General match analysis
First Vienna have won their last 5 matches, scoring 11 goals and conceding just 1, while St. Pölten have won 3 of their 5 games, with a 6:6 goal difference over that span. At home, the hosts average 2.33 goals scored and 0.67 conceded, while the visitors score and concede 1 goal per away match. Although St. Pölten create higher-xG chances away from home than First Vienna do at home (2.28 vs. 1.69), they convert just 5% of their shots and have failed to score in 67% of their away matches. The hosts convert 17% of their shots, have kept a clean sheet in 67% of their home games and are unbeaten there, all of which points to a home win.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The strongest signal points to at least one team failing to score: BTTS occurred in 25% of First Vienna’s home matches and 33% of St. Pölten’s away matches, compared with a league average of 55%. In those same splits, the home side failed to score in 50% of matches and the visitors in as many as 67%, despite their average xG figures of 1.29 and 2.28, respectively. The last 5 matches show a clear improvement from the hosts, however: they scored an average of 2.2 goals and conceded just 0.2, making it particularly difficult for the visitors to find the net. St. Pölten average 8 shots on target per match compared with the hosts’ 2.75, so the risk of both teams scoring remains real, but the teams’ scoring records and BTTS results to date more strongly support BTTS - No—meaning at least one team will fail to score, not necessarily a 0-0 draw.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
First Vienna's home matches have averaged 1.5 goals so far, while St. Pölten's away matches have averaged 2.0; under 3.5 goals landed in 100% and 67% of these matches, respectively. The scoring figures also support a cautious forecast: the hosts average 0.75 goals at home, while the visitors average 1.0 away. However, their attacking potential should not be underestimated, with St. Pölten posting an xG of 2.28 and First Vienna scoring 11 goals in their last five matches. That is why the projected total of 2.37 goals offers a clearer edge on Under 3.5 goals than on the riskier 2.5 line.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
A draw at half-time followed by a First Vienna win at full-time looks the most likely outcome. The hosts’ matches have been level at the break in 2 of their 4 games this season, while St. Pölten were level at half-time in 2 of their last 5; moreover, First Vienna’s season matches have averaged just 0.5 goals before the break. The hosts’ case is strengthened by a run of 5 consecutive wins, during which they scored an average of 2.2 goals and conceded 0.2, while the visitors have conceded 1.2 goals per match. First Vienna are particularly strong after the break: they have averaged 1.6 goals in the second half across their last 5 matches, while St. Pölten have conceded 0.6. However, this is not a certain pick, as the visitors’ average xG stands at 2.28 compared with 1.29 for the hosts, indicating their attacking potential despite their weaker results.
