Trading

Buriram United half-time and goal-timing data (last 23 games, 12 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 75% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 100% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 60% of those occasions; they lead at the break 48% of the time; of the 4 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 50%; BTTS occurs in 50% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 67% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 48%.

Chonburi FC half-time and goal-timing data (last 23 games, 12 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 58% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 90% of the time; of the 7 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 43%; of the 5 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 40%; BTTS occurs in 58% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 58% of games (away games); they fail to score in 35% of games.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Buriram United 56% versus Chonburi FC 61%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Buriram United 70% | Chonburi FC 44%). Note also that Chonburi FC surrender HT leads in 43% of cases while Buriram United recover from half-time deficits to draw or win 50% of the time — a dynamic that could influence in-play positioning.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Buriram United 2.60 xG and Chonburi FC 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: Buriram United attack 1.658 / defence 0.858 | Chonburi FC attack 1.103 / defence 1.047. League average goals — home 1.494 / away 1.181. Buriram United carry an above-average attack rating of 1.658 — their 2.60 xG reflects attacking quality above the league norm. Data: built from Buriram United's last 52 games and Chonburi FC's last 23.

Result probabilities: Buriram United 68% | Draw 19% | Chonburi FC 13%. Fair-value odds: Buriram United 1.48 | Draw 5.17 | Chonburi FC 7.76. The model has a clear lean to Buriram United (68%) — a 49pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 72% | BTTS Yes probability 64% | Total xG 3.71. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 72% — a total xG of 3.71 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 64% — both xG figures (2.60 / 1.12) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Picks & Verdict

On the Poisson output, Buriram United are the pick at 68% — clear model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 19% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

The Poisson model projects 3.71 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 72% — strong conviction, supported by recent form (Buriram United's last 10 home games and Chonburi FC's last 10 away games) averaging 3.2 goals per game and the H2H data averaging 3.4 goals per game across 7 H2H matches.

Poisson assigns a 64% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Buriram United 50% (last 10 home games) | Chonburi FC 60% (last 10 away games).
