Full Analysis

Rayong Provincial Stadium plays host to Rayong FC versus BG Pathum United in Thai League 1 (matchday 22). Kick-off: Sunday 21 March 2027 at 11:30 UK time.

Form

Rayong FC (all games): 2W 3D 5L across their last 10 — 0.90 PPG. Last five: L D L L L. They are averaging 1.10 goals per game and conceding 2.50 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. However, 2.50 goals conceded per game is a concern — opposing attacks have exploited them regularly. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%). Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.

Rayong FC at home: 3W 6D 1L from their last 10 home games — 1.50 PPG on home soil. At home they are averaging 1.20 goals scored and 1.10 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 70% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture. Their home PPG of 1.50 is noticeably stronger than their overall 0.90 — Rayong FC are significantly better at home than their overall form suggests.

BG Pathum United have collected 1.60 PPG across their last 10 games: 4W 4D 2L. Last five: D D W L W. They are scoring at 1.60 per game and conceding 0.90. 4 clean sheets in 10 outings (40%) underlines their defensive solidity.

On the road, BG Pathum United have gone 2W 6D 2L in their last 10 away fixtures (1.20 PPG). Away from home they average 1.00 goals scored and 0.80 conceded per game. 4 clean sheets from their last 10 away games (40%) shows they are capable of shutting up shop on the road.

On a straight form reading, BG Pathum United are the stronger side — 0.70 PPG clear of the hosts (1.60 vs 0.90). Backing them with draw insurance is the conservative play if the outright away price appears short.

H2H History

The head-to-head record is closely matched — across the 5 H2H matches in our data, the wins are level at 1 apiece, with 3 draws. Neither side has a commanding advantage.

The 5 H2H matches in our data averaged 2.0 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 8 Nov 2026, ended Rayong FC 0–3 BG Pathum United — a BG Pathum United win.

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.

Trading Data

Rayong FC goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 38 games, 19 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 90% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 100% of the time; of the 17 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 53%; BTTS occurs in 68% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 42% of games (home games).

BG Pathum United goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 38 games, 19 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 70% of the time; of the 16 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 38%; of the 7 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 71%; BTTS occurs in 53% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 32% of games (away games).

From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Rayong FC 74% and BG Pathum United 53% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Rayong FC 55% | BG Pathum United 47%). Note also that BG Pathum United surrender HT leads in 38% of cases while Rayong FC recover from half-time deficits to draw or win 53% of the time — a dynamic that could influence in-play positioning.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Rayong FC 1.13 xG and BG Pathum United 1.11 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: Rayong FC attack 0.853 / defence 1.032 | BG Pathum United attack 0.756 / defence 0.947. League average goals — home 1.403 / away 1.430. BG Pathum United's attack rating of 0.756 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 1.11. Data: built from Rayong FC's last 38 games and BG Pathum United's last 38.

Result probabilities: Rayong FC 34% | Draw 32% | BG Pathum United 34%. Fair-value odds: Rayong FC 2.91 | Draw 3.12 | BG Pathum United 2.99. The model can't separate the sides — both are rated at 34% to win, with the draw at 32%. There is no result lean here.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 39% | BTTS Yes probability 47% | Total xG 2.25. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 61% — total xG of 2.25 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS No at 53% is only a slight lean — the model gives both sides a fair chance of scoring, so No isn't a clear standalone call.

Final Verdict

The Poisson model can't separate the sides — Rayong FC 34% and BG Pathum United 34%, with the draw at 32%. There is no result lean from the model; the goals and BTTS markets below are where it has a view.

Poisson projects 2.25 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 61% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (Rayong FC's last 10 home games and BG Pathum United's last 10 away games) averaging 2.0 goals per game.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 53% on No. This conflicts with form data — both teams scored in: Rayong FC 70% (last 10 home games) | BG Pathum United 50% (last 10 away games), a notable divergence.
