SCR Altach vs Austria Vienna Prediction — Elo & form

SCR Altach and Austria Vienna meet at the Altach ground on 23 October in the Bundesliga, and the numbers on both sides of this fixture point to a game where the total goals line will be crossed.

The case for over 2.5 goals is built on consistency. SCR Altach's home record over 20 games shows 12 of those 20 finished with three or more goals, and their scoring average at home is 2.0 per game with 1.1 conceded. Austria Vienna's away record mirrors this: 12 of 20 away games went over 2.5, with a scoring average of 2.15 per game and 1.3 conceded. In their last five matches at all venues, both teams have seen over 2.5 goals in four of five games. The most recent meeting at this ground, back in February 2026, ended 2–1 to SCR Altach.

Austria Vienna's xG against in their last three games with data available sits at 2.34 per game, and they conceded 9 goals across those three matches. That is a defensive vulnerability that SCR Altach, who scored 2.2 per game in their last five matches, will look to exploit. SCR Altach's xG against is 1.58 per game over seven games, suggesting they are also not keeping things tight. The combined scoring averages at these venues — 3.1 goals per game at Altach's ground and 3.45 per game in Austria Vienna's away matches — make a low-scoring result hard to justify.

The counter-argument is that both teams are in poor recent form. SCR Altach lost 0–3 to Salzburg five days before kickoff and have lost three of their last four competitive matches. Austria Vienna are on a two-game losing run, conceding 5 goals in those two games. A low-scoring, cagey affair is possible when two teams are out of rhythm. SCR Altach's last five matches saw only one game where both teams scored, and their last 10 shows just 3 of 10 with both teams on the scoresheet. The draw at 3.55 and the under at 1.95 both carry some weight in that scenario.

However, the venue records and the scoring averages are hard to ignore. Both teams are used to scoring and conceding in these contexts, and the recent head-to-head at this ground produced three goals. The xG data, while limited for Austria Vienna, points to a team that is leaking goals at a high rate, and SCR Altach's home scoring record is reliable.

Key Points:

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

• Both teams have seen over 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 5 matches

• The recent head-to-head at this venue ended 2–1 (February 2026)

• Austria Vienna's xG against is 2.34 per game over their last three matches with data

• Both teams are in poor recent form, but the venue and scoring data favour goals

My pick: over 2.5 goals.
