The last 9 meetings have been tight affairs, averaging just 1.3 goals per game. That low-scoring pattern is a meaningful historical input for the Under 2.5 market. The most recent clash, on 24 Dec 2025, ended 2–1 with Chiangrai United winning.

With a balanced win record and just 1.3 goals per game historically, the H2H points toward a tight, low-scoring contest. Under 2.5 goals has the strongest statistical grounding from the fixture history regardless of which side wins.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Chiangrai United 1.17 xG and Ratchaburi 1.84 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: Chiangrai United attack 0.874 / defence 1.060 | Ratchaburi attack 1.599 / defence 0.935. League average goals — home 1.431 / away 1.087. Ratchaburi have an above-average attack strength of 1.599 — the away xG of 1.84 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Data: 57 Chiangrai United games / 57 Ratchaburi games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Chiangrai United 22% | Draw 27% | Ratchaburi 51%. Fair-value odds: Chiangrai United 4.55 | Draw 3.70 | Ratchaburi 1.96. Ratchaburi hold a narrow Poisson edge at 51% — the draw (27%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 58% | BTTS probability 60% | Total xG 3.01. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 58% — the 3.01 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 60% reflects that both xG figures (1.17 / 1.84) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Summary & Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Ratchaburi at 51% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 27% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Ratchaburi offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

The Poisson model projects 3.01 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 58% — marginal — conflicting signals confidence, supported by form averaging 2.8 goals per game — though H2H averaging only 1.3 goals per meeting points in the other direction.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 60% on Yes. Form rates corroborate: Chiangrai United 40% | Ratchaburi 80% BTTS from recent games.
