Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Uthai Thani 1.19 xG and Buriram United 1.80 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: Uthai Thani attack 0.885 / defence 1.169 | Buriram United attack 1.363 / defence 0.790. League average goals — home 1.697 / away 1.133.
