SCR Altach vs Austria Vienna Prediction

SCR Altach and Austria Vienna collide on 23 October in the Bundesliga, and if you know me, you know I'm not here for a 0–0. I'm here for goals, and the numbers are singing a pretty tune.

The case for goals starts with the venue records. Over their last 20 home games, SCR Altach have seen 12 of those 20 go over 2.5 goals, scoring 2 per game and conceding 1.1 per game. Austria Vienna's away record over 20 games mirrors that: 12 of 20 over 2.5, scoring 2.15 per game and conceding 1.3 per game. Neither side is a shut-down operation. Both are leaking goals and scoring in return, which is exactly the kind of open, end-to-end football I live for.

Zoom in on the last five matches and the picture sharpens. SCR Altach went over 2.5 in 4 of their last 5 games, and Austria Vienna did the same in 4 of their last 5. The most recent head-to-head meeting at this ground in February 2026 finished 2–1, and the xG numbers from recent matches paint a picture of open play: Austria Vienna's opponents are creating 2.34 xG per game against them, while SCR Altach are generating 1.23 xG per game themselves. Stack those together and three or more goals is the most likely outcome on the night.

The counter-argument is that both teams have had some quiet games recently. SCR Altach were blanked 0–3 by Salzburg on 18 October and lost 0–2 to Lustenau on 19 September. Austria Vienna fell 0–2 to Sturm Graz on 10 October. Those scorelines sit under 2.5, and they remind us that a low-scoring result is always on the table. The full head-to-head record over 40 meetings spans 11 years, and while 22 of those 40 went over 2.5, the older games dilute the picture. Still, the recent meeting and the venue-specific records carry far more weight than those historical fixtures.

Key Points:

• SCR Altach's last 20 home games: 12 over 2.5; Austria Vienna's last 20 away games: 12 over 2.5
