The two sides

Wolfsberger AC carry a model rating of 6.37 against 6.61 for Lask Linz. 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.

Recent form (most recent last): Wolfsberger AC W-D-L; Lask Linz W-W-W.

The model expects goals

Under the hood the model expects 1.66 goals for Wolfsberger AC and 1.99 for Lask Linz. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Wolfsberger AC rate 0.65 in attack and 1.69 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Lask Linz rate 0.84 and 1.35.

That points to 71% for over two and a half goals and 70% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 1-1 (9%), 1-2 (9%), 2-1 (7%).
