Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Chiangrai United 1.31 xG and BG Pathum United 1.11 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: Chiangrai United attack 0.852 / defence 0.897 | BG Pathum United attack 1.044 / defence 0.917. League average goals — home 1.680 / away 1.182. Data: 47 Chiangrai United games / 47 BG Pathum United games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Chiangrai United 40% | Draw 31% | BG Pathum United 30%. Fair-value odds: Chiangrai United 2.50 | Draw 3.23 | BG Pathum United 3.33. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 31% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 44% | BTTS probability 51% | Total xG 2.42. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 56% — total xG of 2.42 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 51% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Chiangrai United at 40% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 31% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Chiangrai United if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 30% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

The Poisson model projects 2.42 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 44% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence — though form averaging only 2.9 goals per game and H2H averaging only 3.3 goals per meeting point in the other direction.

Poisson assigns a 51% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Chiangrai United 40% | BG Pathum United 80% BTTS from recent games.
