Full Analysis

PAT Stadium plays host to Port FC versus Rayong FC in Thai League 1, Regular Season - 6. Kick-off: Saturday 24 October 2026 at 11:00 UTC.

Current Form

Port FC's overall Thai League 1 record this term: 8W 1D 1L from 10 games (2.50 PPG). Last five: W W W L W. They are averaging 2.10 goals per game — a high-scoring output that makes them a genuine attacking threat in any fixture. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets. Port FC have played only a handful of Thai League 1 games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.

At home at PAT Stadium, Port FC have gone 9W 1D 0L this season (10 games, 2.80 PPG). They are averaging 2.60 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. 5 clean sheets from 10 home games (50%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at PAT Stadium.

Rayong FC (all games): 3W 4D 3L across 10 Thai League 1 outings this term — 1.30 points per game. Last five: W W D L D. They are scoring at 1.50 per game and conceding 1.90. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Both teams have scored in 80% of their matches this season — one of the stronger BTTS rates in the division, making Yes a well-evidenced play. Rayong FC have played only a handful of Thai League 1 games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.

Rayong FC away from home this season: 2W 0D 8L from 10 away games — 0.60 PPG on the road. Away from home they average 1.30 goals scored and 2.70 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 80% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture. Their away PPG of 0.60 is notably below their overall 1.30 — form away from home has been a clear weakness this season.

Form favours the hosts. Port FC's 2.50 PPG return is 1.20 points per game ahead of Rayong FC's 1.30 — a genuine gap in recent results that provides a statistically grounded case for backing the home side.

Head-to-Head

Form and model data should carry more weight here — the historical record is too balanced to provide a directional steer. From 4 meetings: Port FC 2W, Rayong FC 1W, 1D.

Attacking output has been a hallmark of this fixture. At 4.5 goals per game across 4 meetings, the Over 2.5 has a statistically grounded case from the head-to-head record alone. The most recent clash, on 18 Jan 2026, ended 2–5 with Rayong FC winning.

With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H-derived signal is in the goals market. At 4.5 goals per game historically, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle to extract from the head-to-head data.

Trading & In-Play

Port FC — key trading statistics (34 games, 16 at home): they score before half-time in 75% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 70% of the time; they lead at the break 53% of the time; BTTS occurs in 44% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 62% of games (home games); they keep a clean sheet 41% of the time.

Rayong FC — key trading statistics (34 games, 16 at away): they score before half-time in 81% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 100% of the time; when trailing at the break they recover to draw or win in 26% of cases; BTTS occurs in 81% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 62% of games (away games).

From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Port FC 47% and Rayong FC 76% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Port FC 53% | Rayong FC 50%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Port FC 2.48 xG and Rayong FC 1.53 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: Port FC attack 1.276 / defence 0.989 | Rayong FC attack 1.205 / defence 1.282. League average goals — home 1.517 / away 1.284. Port FC carry an above-average attack strength of 1.276 — their λ of 2.48 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Rayong FC bring a strong defensive rating of 1.282 — this is suppressing Port FC's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Rayong FC have an above-average attack strength of 1.205 — the away xG of 1.53 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Data: 34 Port FC games / 35 Rayong FC games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Port FC 58% | Draw 20% | Rayong FC 22%. Fair-value odds: Port FC 1.72 | Draw 5.00 | Rayong FC 4.55. The model has a clear lean to Port FC (58%) — a 36pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 76% | BTTS probability 72% | Total xG 4.01. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 76% — a total xG of 4.01 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 72% reflects that both xG figures (2.48 / 1.53) 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 Port FC at 58% — clear model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 20% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

Poisson projects 4.01 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 76% probability — strong conviction, supported by form averaging 3.6 goals per game and H2H averaging 4.5 goals per meeting.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 72% on Yes. Form rates corroborate: Port FC 50% | Rayong FC 80% BTTS from recent games.
