Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Chiangmai United 0.69 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: Chiangmai United attack 0.657 / defence 1.370 | Buriram United attack 0.794 / defence 1.044. League average goals — home 1.002 / away 1.099. Chiangmai United's attack strength of 0.657 is below the league average — the 0.69 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Data: 15 Chiangmai United games / 15 Buriram United games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Chiangmai United 21% | Draw 31% | Buriram United 48%. Fair-value odds: Chiangmai United 4.76 | Draw 3.23 | Buriram United 2.08. Buriram United hold a narrow Poisson edge at 48% — the draw (31%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 29% | BTTS probability 35% | Total xG 1.88. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 71% probability — total xG of 1.88 sits well below the 2.5 threshold. The model is projecting a tight, low-scoring match based on both sides' defensive quality. BTTS No has firm model support at 65% — Chiangmai United's lower xG of 0.69 creates a meaningful probability of a scoring blank, which suppresses the BTTS Yes probability to 35%.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates Buriram United as the most likely outcome at 48% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 31% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Buriram United offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

Poisson projects 1.88 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 29% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by form averaging 2.0 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is No at 35%. Form rates corroborate: Chiangmai United 43% | Buriram United 14% BTTS from recent games.
