In an aggressively fought Regional League Salzburg match on 28th April 2023, TSV St. Johann emerged victorious over SV Kuchl, with a 2-1 scoreline. The final goal difference could have been a mere stroke of luck, but a careful examination of the statistical factors within the match paints a clearer picture.

If we break down the game chronologically, the home side's prowess was evident early on as they netted the first goal barely 40 minutes into the first half. SV Kuchl managed to level the match in the 64th minute of the second half, crafted from a balanced offensive push. However, TSV St. Johann retook the lead in the final quarter of the game and maintained it till the final whistle.

However, despite the win, TSV St. Johann seemed to struggle with discipline on the field. They amassed a staggering seven yellow cards in the match. Interestingly, the first two were issued in the first half, while the remaining five came in the second half, indicating escalating aggressiveness throughout the game. In fact, their indiscipline even resulted in a red card, reducing them to 10 men, a numerical disadvantage that fortunately didn’t cost them the game.

That said, TSV St. Johann dominated the set-pieces, as demonstrated by the number of corner kicks earned. They were awarded eight corner kicks, more than double of what the away side had (three). The extra opportunities allowed from these set-pieces likely contributed to TSV St. Johann finding the back of the net twice.

Yet, it wasn’t a lopsided match by any means. SV Kuchl effectively used their offside traps, catching TSV St. Johann offside four times, double their own offside count. This shows that despite losing, SV Kuchl had pretty rigid defensive strategies in place.

To sum up, a combination of early goals, successful set-pieces, and a strong mental game saw TSV St. Johann eke out a narrow victory, even amid high foul count and player dismissal. However, from a betting perspective, bettors should gauge TSV St. Johann's notable indiscipline which can be risky against stronger opponents. SV Kuchl's solid defensive strategy is also a notable factor, signaling potential for successful outcomes in future games.
