The Poisson distribution model projects Sukhothai FC 1.24 xG and Lamphun Warrior 1.89 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: Sukhothai FC attack 1.155 / defence 1.113 | Lamphun Warrior attack 1.163 / defence 0.746. League average goals — home 1.445 / away 1.456.

Result probabilities: Sukhothai FC 24% | Draw 24% | Lamphun Warrior 52%. Fair-value odds: Sukhothai FC 4.17 | Draw 4.17 | Lamphun Warrior 1.92. Lamphun Warrior 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 61% | BTTS probability 61% | Total xG 3.13. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 61% — the 3.13 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 61% reflects that both xG figures (1.24 / 1.89) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.
