Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Police Tero 1.36 xG and Buriram United 1.20 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: Police Tero attack 1.136 / defence 1.132 | Buriram United attack 0.998 / defence 0.702. League average goals — home 1.711 / away 1.065. Buriram United bring a tight defence (rating 0.702, below 1 = concedes less than average) — this is pulling Police Tero's projected output down. Data: built from Police Tero's last 34 games and Buriram United's last 34.

Result probabilities: Police Tero 40% | Draw 28% | Buriram United 32%. Fair-value odds: Police Tero 2.50 | Draw 3.60 | Buriram United 3.09. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 28% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 47% | BTTS Yes probability 53% | Total xG 2.57. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 47%/53% — the total xG of 2.57 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 53% 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 Police Tero as the most likely outcome at 40% — marginal model lean. With a 28% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Police Tero offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 32% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.57 combined xG gives a 53% probability to Under 2.5 — low conviction — though the H2H data averaging 4.0 goals per game across 4 H2H matches points the other way.

Poisson assigns a 53% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: Police Tero 60% (last 10 home games) | Buriram United 40% (last 10 away games).
