A Thai League 1 encounter, Regular Season - 15 sees Nong Bua Pitchaya travel to PAT Stadium to take on Port FC. The game is scheduled for Sunday 1 December 2024, 11:00 UTC.

Recent Form

Across all Thai League 1 games this season, Port FC have gone 3W 5D 2L from 10 outings — a 1.40 PPG return. Last five: W W D L D. They are averaging 1.40 goals per game and conceding 1.10 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets. This season is still relatively young for Port FC, so this record blends games from this season and last.

Port FC's home record at PAT Stadium: 6W 2D 2L from 10 Thai League 1 appearances (2.00 PPG). They are averaging 2.30 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. 5 clean sheets from 10 home games (50%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at PAT Stadium. Their home PPG of 2.00 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.40 — Port FC are significantly better at PAT Stadium than their overall form suggests.

Nong Bua Pitchaya — All Games: 3W 2D 5L from 10 Thai League 1 fixtures this season — 1.10 PPG. Last five: L W W L L. Their attacking form is sharp — 2.10 goals per game is a high-output rate that commands respect in the goals markets. Conceding 2.20 per game is a high rate — their defensive vulnerabilities have been exposed regularly this season. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Both teams have scored in 80% of their matches this season — one of the stronger BTTS rates in the division, making Yes a well-evidenced play. This season is still relatively young for Nong Bua Pitchaya, so this record blends games from this season and last.

On the road, Nong Bua Pitchaya have gone 0W 2D 4L from 6 away fixtures this term (0.33 PPG). Away from home they average 1.33 goals scored and 3.00 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 83% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture. Their away PPG of 0.33 is notably below their overall 1.10 — form away from home has been a clear weakness this season.

The form comparison is too close to call — 1.40 PPG (Port FC) versus 1.10 (Nong Bua Pitchaya). When the figures are this level, no pick can be reliably derived from recent results alone.

H2H

The fixture history tells a clear story: Port FC have dominated this rivalry, winning 3 of 4 past contests while Nong Bua Pitchaya have managed just 0 wins.

These sides have historically produced few goals — 1.8 per contest from 4 previous meetings. The Under 2.5 market has a well-supported historical case here. The most recent clash, on 19 Feb 2023, ended 2–1 with Port FC winning.

The historical record gives Port FC a meaningful edge here — 3 wins from 4 meetings is the kind of ledger that should not be discounted when the form picture is inconclusive. Even away from home, the visitors have struggled to impose themselves in this fixture.

Trading Patterns

Port FC in-play and half-time data (14 games, 6 at home): they score before half-time in 67% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 33% of the time; BTTS occurs in 67% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 43%.

Nong Bua Pitchaya in-play and half-time data (14 games, 6 at away): they score before half-time in 67% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 75% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 75% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 83% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 83% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 64%.

From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Port FC 64% and Nong Bua Pitchaya 71% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. Over 2.5 goals is well-supported by both sides' in-play profiles (Port FC 57% | Nong Bua Pitchaya 79%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Port FC 2.87 xG and Nong Bua Pitchaya 0.99 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: Port FC attack 1.142 / defence 0.891 | Nong Bua Pitchaya attack 0.985 / defence 1.508. League average goals — home 1.668 / away 1.133. Nong Bua Pitchaya bring a strong defensive rating of 1.508 — this is suppressing Port FC's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 43 Port FC games / 14 Nong Bua Pitchaya games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Port FC 74% | Draw 17% | Nong Bua Pitchaya 9%. Fair-value odds: Port FC 1.35 | Draw 5.88 | Nong Bua Pitchaya 11.11. The model has a clear lean to Port FC (74%) — a 65pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 74% | BTTS probability 61% | Total xG 3.87. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 74% — a total xG of 3.87 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 61% reflects that both xG figures (2.87 / 0.99) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates Port FC as the most likely outcome at 74% — clear model lean.

On the goals line, Poisson's 3.87 combined xG gives a 74% probability to Over 2.5 — marginal — conflicting signals, supported by form averaging 3.7 goals per game — though H2H averaging only 1.8 goals per meeting points in the other direction.

Poisson assigns a 61% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Port FC 50% | Nong Bua Pitchaya 83% BTTS from recent games.
