Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects BG Pathum United 2.60 xG and Nakhon Pathom 1.05 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: BG Pathum United attack 1.212 / defence 0.856 | Nakhon Pathom attack 0.929 / defence 1.245. League average goals — home 1.721 / away 1.320. Nakhon Pathom bring a strong defensive rating of 1.245 — this is suppressing BG Pathum United's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 43 BG Pathum United games / 14 Nakhon Pathom games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: BG Pathum United 69% | Draw 19% | Nakhon Pathom 12%. Fair-value odds: BG Pathum United 1.45 | Draw 5.26 | Nakhon Pathom 8.33. The model has a clear lean to BG Pathum United (69%) — a 57pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 71% | BTTS probability 61% | Total xG 3.65. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 71% — a total xG of 3.65 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS Yes at 61% reflects that both xG figures (2.60 / 1.05) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates BG Pathum United as the most likely outcome at 69% — clear model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 19% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

Poisson projects 3.65 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 71% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by form averaging 3.5 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 61%. Form rates corroborate: BG Pathum United 50% | Nakhon Pathom 71% BTTS from recent games.
