WSG Wattens vs Austria Vienna Prediction

Right then, let's have a proper look at this Bundesliga clash between WSG Wattens and Austria Vienna. The lads from Wattens are struggling a bit down in 10th, while Austria Vienna are sitting pretty in 5th, but don't let that fool you - there's goals in this one, I'm telling you.

WSG Wattens have been a bit leaky at the back lately, haven't they? They've not kept a single clean sheet in their last 10 games - that's right, zero! They're shipping nearly two goals a game at home (2.00 to be exact), but they're not shy in front of goal either, banging in 1.8 per game on their own patch. Their recent form shows what I'm on about - they lost 1-4 to Rapid Vienna, went down 1-2 to Red Bull Salzburg, and even got beat 0-2 by Ried. But they're still finding the net, which is what matters for our purposes.

Austria Vienna, on the other hand, have been a bit of a mixed bag recently. They had that shocker losing 0-1 to FC BW Linz, but before that, they were absolutely flying - smashing Rapid Vienna 3-1, beating Ried 3-2, and even nicking a 1-0 win against league leaders Sturm Graz. Away from home, they're averaging two goals per game, which is proper tasty.

When these two have met before, it's usually Austria Vienna who come out on top (6 wins in 9 meetings), but goals tend to flow. WSG Wattens did manage a 1-0 win at home back in April, but most of their recent clashes have seen plenty of action.

The stats are screaming 'both teams score' here. Wattens games see both teams get on the scoresheet 80% of the time, while Austria Vienna's games see it happen 60% of the time. With Wattens' defensive record being what it is (no clean sheets in 10 games!) and Austria Vienna's away scoring form, this looks like a proper value bet.

Key Points:

• WSG Wattens haven't kept a clean sheet in 10 games

• Both teams score in 80% of WSG Wattens' games

• Austria Vienna score 2.0 goals per game away from home

• WSG Wattens score 1.8 goals per game at home

• Recent meetings between these sides have seen plenty of goals

The odds of 1.75 for both teams to score look decent value to me. Given how leaky Wattens are at the back and how both sides like to attack, I'm expecting goals at both ends in this one.
