Trading & In-Play

Chonburi FC — key trading statistics (49 games, 25 at home): they score before half-time in 76% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 92% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 58% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 60% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 48% of games (home games).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Chonburi FC 2.14 xG and Muangthong United 1.44 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: Chonburi FC attack 1.287 / defence 0.961 | Muangthong United attack 1.328 / defence 1.160. League average goals — home 1.436 / away 1.131. Chonburi FC carry an above-average attack strength of 1.287 — their λ of 2.14 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Muangthong United have an above-average attack strength of 1.328 — the away xG of 1.44 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Data: 49 Chonburi FC games / 49 Muangthong United games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Chonburi FC 52% | Draw 24% | Muangthong United 24%. Fair-value odds: Chonburi FC 1.92 | Draw 4.17 | Muangthong United 4.17. Chonburi FC hold a narrow Poisson edge at 52% — the draw (24%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 70% | BTTS probability 69% | Total xG 3.59. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 70% — a total xG of 3.59 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 69% reflects that both xG figures (2.14 / 1.44) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Chonburi FC at 52% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 24% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Chonburi FC if the outright odds are short.

The Poisson model projects 3.59 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 70% — strong confidence, supported by form averaging 3.1 goals per game and H2H averaging 4.7 goals per meeting.

Poisson assigns a 69% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Chonburi FC 40% | Muangthong United 80% BTTS from recent games.
