| Market | Yes | No | Our call |
|---|---|---|---|
| Over 2.5 goals | 55% | 45% | Over |
| Over 3.5 goals | 34% | 66% | no pick |
| Both teams to score | 53% | 47% | Yes |
The result model puts Schwarz-Weiß Bregenz at 33%, the draw at 26% and Admira Wacker at 41%, from expected goals of 1.3 and 1.46.
The league sets the starting point. 2. Liga has produced over 2.5 goals in 52% of its matches, and that is where a team with no record of its own would sit.
Each side's own record. Schwarz-Weiß Bregenz have 5 in 9 this season (3 of 4 at home), Admira Wacker 4 in 9 (3 of 5 away). Those records are pulled toward the league rate with the weight of about 24 matches — enough that two or three unusual games cannot swing a rating — giving 53% and 50%.
Last season still counts, briefly. With 9 and 9 games played this season, last season's rates are still blended in and fade out entirely by game 40 — the point at which our testing showed they stop adding accuracy. A single season is part luck, so each club's record is first pulled toward the league average by 34 games' weight. That moves the two figures to 57% and 53%.
The mix. Weighted 40% home side, 40% away side and 20% league — the split that beat every alternative across 30,582 matches of testing — that gives 54%.
Head to head. These sides have met 6 times in three years, producing over 2.5 goals in 83%. That nudges the number 5% of the way toward the head-to-head pattern — deliberately small, because fixtures change more than reputations do — landing on 56%.
Goal expectation. Separately a Poisson model built from attack and defence strength — using real expected-goals data where the league has it — puts this match at 52%, from expected goals of 1.3 for Schwarz-Weiß Bregenz and 1.46 for Admira Wacker. Folding in 30% of that view gives 55%.
This breakdown is generated from the same inputs the rating uses, so it cannot describe a calculation we did not perform. The full model is set out in the methodology.
| Team | Games | O2.5 | O3.5 | BTTS |

| Admira Wacker | 9 | 44% | 22% | 33% |
Our numbers give this match a 76% chance of at least one goal before half-time and 40% of two or more. The 2. Liga rates, last season and this season combined, are 73% and 39% (this season so far: 78% with a first-half goal, from 72 games). After the break: 76% for a goal and 47% for two or more (league 76% and 43%). Schwarz-Weiß Bregenz's last 50 games had a first-half goal 82% of the time and a second-half goal 84%; Admira Wacker's last 50, 78% and 70%. A goal in both halves: 61% (league 56%). Highest-scoring half: second 43%, first 31%, level 26% — close to the league's usual split, because team form says little about which half is busier. Team form says less about a single half than about a full match, so these numbers stay close to the league's.
Every match ranked the same way: first half goals today · second half goals today · goal in both halves today · tomorrow.
