Percentiles from 0 to 100: 90 means better than 90% of clubs in the league, or in the world. Higher means more of that quality. The profile describes the club. It is not part of the score. Missing bars mean there is not enough data yet. How the profile works.

This season they are taking 1.89 points a game from 9 matches, while their performances have been worth 1.37. That is 4.7 points more than the football deserved, which our model calls lucky. Their opponents this season have averaged a rating of 1317, a tougher schedule than the Austrian Bundesliga average.

For context, the next one below is Salzburg, rated 1435. Their lead over the second-best side is 2 rating points.

Compared with the rest of their league, their style stands out for very high shot volume.

On rating, they play like a tier-2 side, 2 tiers above the level of their own league.

The Austrian Bundesliga itself is 23rd in our world league ranking, where its average club is 1.29 goals per 90 worse than the top-five average.

How sure are we? Confidence in this rating is medium: the range of 82nd to 259th is where the club's true world rank sits four times in five. Results to 25 Oct 2026.
