Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects BG Pathum United 1.75 xG and Chiangrai United 1.12 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: BG Pathum United attack 1.089 / defence 0.956 | Chiangrai United attack 0.877 / defence 0.945. League average goals — home 1.702 / away 1.332. Data: built from BG Pathum United's last 44 games and Chiangrai United's last 44.

Result probabilities: BG Pathum United 50% | Draw 27% | Chiangrai United 22%. Fair-value odds: BG Pathum United 1.99 | Draw 3.64 | Chiangrai United 4.49. BG Pathum United hold a narrow Poisson edge at 50% — the draw (27%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 55% | BTTS Yes probability 58% | Total xG 2.87. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 55% — the 2.87 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 58% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is BG Pathum United at 50% — moderate model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 27% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on BG Pathum United if the outright odds are short.

The Poisson model projects 2.87 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 55% — strong conviction, supported by recent form (BG Pathum United's last 10 home games and Chiangrai United's last 10 away games) averaging 3.0 goals per game and the H2H data averaging 3.3 goals per game across 3 H2H matches.

Poisson assigns a 58% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: BG Pathum United 50% (last 10 home games) | Chiangrai United 70% (last 10 away games).
