Two sides the ratings cannot separate

Austria Vienna carry a model rating of 6.27 against 6.23 for WSG Wattens. The scale is anchored so that an average side in one of Europe's big five leagues sits at 6.85, and it is adjusted for the strength of each team's league, so the two numbers are comparable even across borders.

A gap that small is inside the noise of the rating itself — treat the two as level.

Recent form (most recent last): Austria Vienna L; WSG Wattens D-L.

What the model expects

Under the hood the model expects 1.34 goals for Austria Vienna and 0.88 for WSG Wattens. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Austria Vienna rate 0.47 in attack and 1.54 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; WSG Wattens rate 0.41 and 1.51.

That points to 38% for over two and a half goals and 44% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 1-0 (14%), 1-1 (13%), 0-0 (11%).

Where the model differs from the table

The table and the model disagree here: the standings favour WSG Wattens, while our numbers lean the other way. The model weights recent expected goals rather than results already banked, so it moves before the table does.
