Chonburi FC travel to Sam Ao Stadium to take on Prachuap in Thai League 1 (matchday 20). The game is scheduled for Saturday 18 April 2026 at 13:00 UK time.

Form Analysis

Looking at their last 10 matches, Prachuap stand at 4W 5D 1L — 1.70 PPG. Last five: W W D D L. They are averaging 1.10 goals per game and conceding 0.90 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 4 clean sheets in 10 games (40%) reflects a solid defensive base.

At home, Prachuap have gone 5W 4D 1L in their last 10 home games (1.90 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.60 goals scored and 1.00 conceded per game. 4 home clean sheets from their last 10 home games (40%) — a solid defensive base on their own ground.

Chonburi FC — last 10 games: 6W 1D 3L — 1.90 PPG. Last five: L W L W W. They are scoring at 1.70 per game and conceding 1.40. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%).

Chonburi FC away from home: 4W 1D 5L from their last 10 away games — 1.30 PPG on the road. Away from home they average 1.30 goals scored and 1.70 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context. Their away PPG of 1.30 is notably below their overall 1.90 — form away from home has been a clear weakness recently.

There is minimal separation in the form figures — Prachuap at 1.70 PPG versus Chonburi FC's 1.90. The form guide is not providing a strong directional steer; the model and market data will carry more weight in the final assessment.

H2H

The H2H picture is flat: the 7 H2H matches we hold have produced 2 wins for Prachuap, 3 for Chonburi FC and 2 draws. Form and model data should carry more weight here.

The 7 H2H matches in our data averaged 2.7 goals per game — a neutral rate that gives no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent of those, on 27 Sep 2025, ended Prachuap 1–1 Chonburi FC — a draw.

The head-to-head data offers no strong steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the model and current market pricing should carry more weight for this fixture.

In-Play Profile

Prachuap in-play tendencies (last 26 games, 13 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 62% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 60% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; of the 8 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 38%; of the 8 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 38%; BTTS occurs in 46% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 31% of games (home games); they fail to score in 31% of games.

Chonburi FC in-play tendencies (last 26 games, 13 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 62% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 90% of the time; of the 8 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 38%; of the 6 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 33%; BTTS occurs in 54% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 62% of games (away games); they fail to score in 35% of games.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Prachuap 54% versus Chonburi FC 58%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Prachuap 38% | Chonburi FC 46%). There is an in-play dynamic worth noting: Prachuap surrender their half-time lead 38% of the time, while Chonburi FC have come from behind at the break to draw or win in 33% of cases — a combination that makes laying the hosts at HT a potential angle. Note also that Chonburi FC surrender HT leads in 38% of cases while Prachuap recover from half-time deficits to draw or win 38% of the time — a dynamic that could influence in-play positioning.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Prachuap 1.82 xG and Chonburi FC 1.00 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: Prachuap attack 1.019 / defence 0.909 | Chonburi FC attack 1.018 / defence 1.221. League average goals — home 1.462 / away 1.077. Chonburi FC's defence rating of 1.221 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Prachuap's projected output up. Data: built from Prachuap's last 56 games and Chonburi FC's last 26.

Result probabilities: Prachuap 54% | Draw 28% | Chonburi FC 18%. Fair-value odds: Prachuap 1.84 | Draw 3.62 | Chonburi FC 5.52. Prachuap hold a narrow Poisson edge at 54% — the draw (28%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 53% | BTTS Yes probability 55% | Total xG 2.81. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 53%/47% — the total xG of 2.81 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 55% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates Prachuap as the most likely outcome at 54% — moderate model lean. With a 28% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Prachuap offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

Poisson projects 2.81 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 53% probability — strong conviction, supported by recent form (Prachuap's last 10 home games and Chonburi FC's last 10 away games) averaging 2.8 goals per game and the H2H data averaging 2.7 goals per game across 7 H2H matches.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 55%. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Prachuap 50% (last 10 home games) | Chonburi FC 60% (last 10 away games).
