They are averaging 1.30 goals per game and conceding 1.00 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 4 clean sheets in 10 games (40%) reflects a solid defensive base. Both teams have scored in just 30% of their matches, indicating a tendency toward clean sheets or low-scoring outcomes. This season is still relatively young for Chiangrai United, so this record blends games from this season and last.

Chiangrai United's form when playing at home: 6W 1D 3L across 10 games at Singha Chiangrai Stadium this term (1.90 PPG).

Their scoring rate of 0.60 per game is modest, conceding 1.40 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. This season is still relatively young for Nong Bua Pitchaya, so this record blends games from this season and last.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Chiangrai United 1.63 xG and Nong Bua Pitchaya 0.55 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 0.788 / defence 0.688 | Nong Bua Pitchaya attack 0.668 / defence 1.233. League average goals — home 1.677 / away 1.204. Chiangrai United's attack strength of 0.788 is below the league average — the 1.63 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Nong Bua Pitchaya bring a strong defensive rating of 1.233 — this is suppressing Chiangrai United's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Chiangrai United's defence rating of 0.688 is below average — the home backline is amplifying the visitor's projected output. Data: 57 Chiangrai United games / 27 Nong Bua Pitchaya games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Chiangrai United 63% | Draw 25% | Nong Bua Pitchaya 12%. Fair-value odds: Chiangrai United 1.59 | Draw 4.00 | Nong Bua Pitchaya 8.33. The model has a clear lean to Chiangrai United (63%) — a 51pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 37% | BTTS probability 34% | Total xG 2.18. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 63% — total xG of 2.18 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS No has firm model support at 66% — Nong Bua Pitchaya's lower xG of 0.55 creates a meaningful probability of a scoring blank, which suppresses the BTTS Yes probability to 34%.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates Chiangrai United as the most likely outcome at 63% — clear model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 25% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

The Poisson model projects 2.18 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 37% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 34% on No. Form rates corroborate: Chiangrai United 20% | Nong Bua Pitchaya 60% BTTS from recent games.
