WSPG Wels vs Schwarz-Weiß Bregenz: match statistics

Schwarz-Weiß Bregenz hold a slight edge based on their season-wide results: they have won 3 of 7 matches, compared with WSPG Wels’ 1 of 7. In their last five games, the visitors have earned 7 points and conceded 5 goals, while the hosts have collected 4 points and conceded 11. However, Wels have lost all of their home matches, conceding an average of 2.5 goals, giving Bregenz a chance to end their away winless run. The backing for the visitors remains cautious, as they average just 0.25 goals away from home and have failed to score in 75% of their matches. The hosts can also pose a threat: their home xG is 1.43, compared with the 1.26 xG Bregenz concede away, making a draw a realistic alternative.

The strongest signal in favour of BTTS - No is the visitors’ away scoring record: they average just 0.25 goals and failed to score in 75% of those matches. They also average 2.75 shots on target, compared with 5.67 for the hosts, although their away xG of 1.08 suggests they can create chances. WSPG Wels average 3.33 goals at home, so Bregenz failing to score looks a more likely reason for BTTS - No than the hosts drawing a blank. There is still significant risk with this pick: over their last five matches, the visitors averaged 1.6 goals, while the hosts conceded 2.2. Despite Bregenz’s improved attacking form, their away BTTS rate is only 25%, so the likelier scenario is that at least one team fails to score.

The strongest signal points to Over 1.5 goals: every WSPG Wels home match so far has cleared this line, as have 75% of Bregenz’s away fixtures. The hosts average 3.33 goals scored at home, while the visitors concede 2.25 on the road; Wels also hold an advantage in shots on target, with 5.67 per match compared with 2.75 for Bregenz. These figures should be tempered, however, as Wels have averaged just 1.0 goal across their last five matches, with an xG of 1.30. Bregenz score only 0.25 goals per away match, although they have averaged 1.6 across their last five matches overall, so ruling out an away goal entirely would be risky. A forecast of around 3.0 goals favors Over 1.5, while uncertainty increases at higher lines.

WSPG Wels have led at the break in all 3 of their home matches so far and went on to win each one; Schwarz-Weiß Bregenz have lost 3 of their 4 away fixtures. The hosts average 2.0 goals before half-time at home, while the visitors concede 1.25 on the road, pointing to Wels taking the lead at the break. After half-time, Wels average 1.33 goals at home, while Bregenz have yet to score in the second half of an away match, giving the hosts a stronger basis for holding on to their lead. Caution is warranted, however: across their last 5 matches regardless of venue, Bregenz have earned 1.4 points per game compared with Wels’ 0.8. Despite that difference, the hosts’ current home statistics and the visitors’ away record most strongly point to Wels leading at half-time and winning after 90 minutes (HT/FT: 1/1).
