Leoben vs SK Rapid Prediction: Both teams expected to score here

The Austria OFB Cup semi-final clash between Leoben and SK Rapid will take place at Donawitz Stadium. Let's analyze this upcoming match and make a prediction.

Leoben enters this match following a 0-0 draw against KSV 1919 in the 2. Liga. During that game, Leoben held 53% possession and attempted 10 shots on goal, with 2 on target. KSV 1919 managed 3 shots at goal, with 2 on target. A notable trend in Leoben's recent matches is the frequency of results with no goals scored. In the six matches preceding this one, there were no goals scored in six of them, resulting in a loss for bets placed on Both Teams to Score (BTTS).

SK Rapid will enter this upcoming match fresh off a 3-0 Bundesliga victory against TSV Hartberg in their latest fixture. During that game, SK Rapid maintained 48% possession and registered 9 attempts on goal, with 5 of them on target. Marco Grüll was the sole scorer for SK Rapid, finding the net in the 3rd, 43rd, and 80th minutes. On the opposing side, TSV Hartberg managed 6 shots at goal, with only 1 on target. In five of their last six encounters, SK Rapid has been involved in matches with a notably low volume of goals scored between them and their opponents. The overall average goals scored per game during this period is just 1.83, with SK Rapid averaging 1.33 goals per game.

SK Rapid, the visiting team, are considered favorites on the road and have been maintaining an impressive unbeaten streak, which they aim to continue. However, the hosts shouldn't be underestimated, particularly considering their strong defensive record. Although I anticipate a competitive match, I believe both teams are likely to score, even if the hosts emerge victorious.
