Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Buriram United 3.54 xG and Nakhon Ratchasima FC 0.69 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 1.748 / defence 0.676 | Nakhon Ratchasima FC attack 0.880 / defence 1.226. League average goals — home 1.655 / away 1.159. Buriram United carry an above-average attack strength of 1.748 — their λ of 3.54 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Nakhon Ratchasima FC bring a strong defensive rating of 1.226 — this is suppressing Buriram United's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Buriram United's defence rating of 0.676 is below average — the home backline is amplifying the visitor's projected output. Data: 53 Buriram United games / 25 Nakhon Ratchasima FC games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Buriram United 88% | Draw 8% | Nakhon Ratchasima FC 4%. Fair-value odds: Buriram United 1.14 | Draw 12.50 | Nakhon Ratchasima FC 25.00. The model has a clear lean to Buriram United (88%) — a 84pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 79% | BTTS probability 48% | Total xG 4.23. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 79% — a total xG of 4.23 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 probability of 48% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Summary & Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Buriram United at 88% — clear model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support.

Poisson projects 4.23 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 79% probability — strong conviction, supported by form averaging 3.3 goals per game and H2H averaging 3.6 goals per meeting.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is No at 48%. Form rates corroborate: Buriram United 10% | Nakhon Ratchasima FC 50% BTTS from recent games.
