Recent Form

Across their last 10 games, Lamphun Warrior have gone 5W 2D 3L — a 1.70 PPG return. Last five: W L W W W. They are averaging 1.30 goals per game and conceding 1.20 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%). Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.

Lamphun Warrior's form when playing at home: 6W 4D 0L across their last 10 home games (2.20 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.70 goals scored and 0.70 conceded per game. 4 home clean sheets from their last 10 home games (40%) — a solid defensive base on their own ground. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture. Their home PPG of 2.20 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.70 — Lamphun Warrior are significantly better at home than their overall form suggests.

Sukhothai FC — last 10 games: 3W 3D 4L — 1.20 PPG. Last five: D W D L L. Their scoring rate of 1.30 per game is modest, conceding 1.30 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings (30%).

Sukhothai FC's form when playing away from home: 1W 4D 5L across their last 10 road games (0.70 PPG). Away from home they average 0.80 goals scored and 1.70 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context. Their away PPG of 0.70 is notably below their overall 1.20 — form away from home has been a clear weakness recently.

Lamphun Warrior carry the stronger recent momentum — 0.50 PPG ahead of their opponents on 1.70 vs 1.20. The form data is a point in their favour, and where the price allows, it is the cleaner directional bet.

The BTTS market is worth targeting here. Both teams have scored in 60% of Lamphun Warrior's games and 60% of Sukhothai FC's (from Lamphun Warrior's last 10 home games and Sukhothai FC's last 10 away games) — both sides above the 60% threshold gives BTTS Yes firm statistical grounding.

H2H

There is little to separate the sides in our head-to-head data. From 2 H2H matches, Lamphun Warrior have won 2, Sukhothai FC 0, with 0 draws — a balanced record that offers no clear steer on its own. With only 2 H2H matches to go on, treat this as a light input.

The 2 H2H matches in our data have been high-scoring — 3.5 goals per game on average — which backs the Over 2.5 market from the head-to-head side. The most recent of those, on 7 May 2023, ended Lamphun Warrior 2–1 Sukhothai FC — a Lamphun Warrior win.

With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H signal is in the goals market — at 3.5 goals per game, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle from the head-to-head data.

Trading Patterns

Lamphun Warrior in-play and half-time data (last 30 games, 15 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 67% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 73% of the time; of the 7 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 29%; BTTS occurs in 47% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 47% of games (home games); they fail to score in 50% of games.

Sukhothai FC in-play and half-time data (last 30 games, 15 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 80% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 70% of the time; of the 5 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 40%; BTTS occurs in 60% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 33% of games (away games); they fail to score in 30% of games.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Lamphun Warrior 40% versus Sukhothai FC 47%; no strong lean in either direction. Under 2.5 goals has backing from the in-play data — both teams register low Over 2.5 rates (Lamphun Warrior 37% | Sukhothai FC 40%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Lamphun Warrior 1.63 xG and Sukhothai FC 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: Lamphun Warrior attack 1.017 / defence 0.921 | Sukhothai FC attack 0.921 / defence 1.032. League average goals — home 1.556 / away 1.242. Data: built from Lamphun Warrior's last 30 games and Sukhothai FC's last 30. Some of those games are older results, so treat these probabilities as directional rather than precise.

Result probabilities: Lamphun Warrior 51% | Draw 25% | Sukhothai FC 25%. Fair-value odds: Lamphun Warrior 1.97 | Draw 4.06 | Sukhothai FC 4.08. Lamphun Warrior hold a narrow Poisson edge at 51% — the draw (25%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 50% | BTTS Yes probability 52% | Total xG 2.69. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 50%/50% — the total xG of 2.69 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 52% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates Lamphun Warrior as the most likely outcome at 51% — moderate model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 25% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Lamphun Warrior offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.69 combined xG gives a 50% probability to Over 2.5 — a Poisson-only call with no corroboration from form or H2H.

Poisson assigns a 52% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Lamphun Warrior 60% (last 10 home games) | Sukhothai FC 60% (last 10 away games).

The Poisson model's sample (Lamphun Warrior 30 games, Sukhothai FC 30) includes some older results, so its projections carry extra uncertainty — weight recent form and the odds accordingly.
