✍️ Match Preview
Full Analysis
Thalay Luang Stadium plays host to Sukhothai FC versus Rayong FC in Thai League 1 (matchday 24). Kick-off: Saturday 7 March 2026 at 11:00 UK time.
Form & Momentum
Sukhothai FC have collected 0.60 PPG across their last 10 games: 1W 3D 6L. Last five: L D D L L. They are averaging 0.50 goals per game and conceding 2.10 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. However, 2.10 goals conceded per game is a concern — opposing attacks have exploited them regularly. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%).
Sukhothai FC's home record over their last 10 home games: 3W 6D 1L (1.50 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.10 goals scored and 0.80 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 0.60 — Sukhothai FC are significantly better at home than their overall form suggests.
Rayong FC (all games): 3W 3D 4L across their last 10 — 1.20 points per game. Last five: W L D L L. They are scoring at 1.60 per game and conceding 1.60. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%). Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.
On the road, Rayong FC have gone 2W 4D 4L in their last 10 away fixtures (1.00 PPG). Away from home they average 1.10 goals scored and 1.30 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 70% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture.
The travelling side arrive in better shape. Rayong FC are 0.60 PPG clear of Sukhothai FC over their recent games (1.20 vs 0.60). Backing the visitors outright or on Draw No Bet are both valid approaches where the price allows.
The BTTS picture is exceptionally clear (from Sukhothai FC's last 10 home games and Rayong FC's last 10 away games) — both teams have scored in 70% of Sukhothai FC's games and 70% of Rayong FC's. Both sides above 70% makes BTTS Yes one of the strongest standalone angles in this fixture.
Head-to-Head
Neither side has dominated the 3 H2H matches in our data: 1 wins for Sukhothai FC, 2 for Rayong FC and 0 draws — leaving the H2H largely neutral. With only 3 H2H matches to go on, treat this as a light input.
The 3 H2H matches in our data have been high-scoring — 3.0 goals per game on average — which backs the Over 2.5 market from the head-to-head side. The most recent of those, on 1 Nov 2025, ended Sukhothai FC 0–2 Rayong FC — a Rayong FC win.
With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H signal is in the goals market — at 3.0 goals per game, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle from the head-to-head data.
Trading
Sukhothai FC half-time and goal-timing data (last 51 games, 26 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 50% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 74% of the time; of the 11 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 36%; of the 18 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 28%; BTTS occurs in 65% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 54% of games (home games).
Rayong FC half-time and goal-timing data (last 51 games, 26 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 77% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 100% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 56% of those occasions; of the 11 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 27%; of the 24 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 46%; BTTS occurs in 65% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 58% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 41%.
From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Sukhothai FC 59% and Rayong FC 71% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Sukhothai FC 51% | Rayong FC 59%). There is an in-play dynamic worth noting: Sukhothai FC surrender their half-time lead 36% of the time, while Rayong FC have come from behind at the break to draw or win in 46% of cases — a combination that makes laying the hosts at HT a potential angle.
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Sukhothai FC 1.27 xG and Rayong FC 0.91 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: Sukhothai FC attack 0.803 / defence 0.863 | Rayong FC attack 0.923 / defence 1.048. League average goals — home 1.512 / away 1.140. Data: built from Sukhothai FC's last 52 games and Rayong FC's last 51.
Result probabilities: Sukhothai FC 43% | Draw 33% | Rayong FC 24%. Fair-value odds: Sukhothai FC 2.35 | Draw 3.02 | Rayong FC 4.11. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 33% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 37% | BTTS Yes probability 45% | Total xG 2.18. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 63% — total xG of 2.18 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS No at 55% is only a slight lean — the model gives both sides a fair chance of scoring, so No isn't a clear standalone call.
Picks & Verdict
On the Poisson output, Sukhothai FC are the pick at 43% — marginal model lean. Note a divergence: in-form Rayong FC (1.20 PPG) cuts against the Poisson lean — the model adjusts for opposition strength, which raw form results do not. Draw probability of 33% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Sukhothai FC if the outright odds are short.
Poisson projects 2.18 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 63% probability — mixed conviction, supported by recent form (Sukhothai FC's last 10 home games and Rayong FC's last 10 away games) averaging 2.1 goals per game — though the H2H data averaging 3.0 goals per game across 3 H2H matches points the other way.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 55% on No. This conflicts with form data — both teams scored in: Sukhothai FC 70% (last 10 home games) | Rayong FC 70% (last 10 away games), a notable divergence.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Sukhothai FC beat Rayong FC 2-1 at Thalay Luang Stadium, Regular Season - 24, in the Thai League 1. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Sukhothai FC 1.27 xG and Rayong FC 0.91 xG, a combined 2.18. The scoreboard read 2-1 for 3 actual goals. Both sides finished within a goal of their individual projections, so the scoreline sat close to the model's expected shape. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Sukhothai FC attack 0.80 / defence 0.86 against Rayong FC attack 0.92 / defence 1.05, drawn from 52/51 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Sukhothai FC 43% | Draw 33% | Rayong FC 24%, with Sukhothai FC to win its most likely call at 43%. That is exactly how it finished — the model's leading outcome was vindicated.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 37%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — the opposite of the projected direction. Over 1.5 had been 66% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 45% and the match saw both sides score — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 55% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Sukhothai FC 51%, Rayong FC 59%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 65%, which matched the both-scored outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Sukhothai FC's trading profile (51 games, 26 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 59% of their matches — today it did.

Form vs Result
The form lines were close — Sukhothai FC 1.12 PPG, Rayong FC 1.18 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Sukhothai FC win broke the near-deadlock.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss). The data was on the wrong side of this result more often than not — a reminder that a single match sits well inside the model's variance.
