H2H History

Across 8 previous meetings, Buriram United are the stronger side on paper — 6 victories to 0, with 2 draws in between.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Buriram United 1.25 xG and Lamphun Warrior 1.92 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: Buriram United attack 1.165 / defence 1.135 | Lamphun Warrior attack 1.163 / defence 0.746. League average goals — home 1.445 / away 1.456. Lamphun Warrior's defence strength of 0.746 is below average — they are conceding at a rate that inflates the home xG figure. Data: 36 Buriram United games / 37 Lamphun Warrior games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Buriram United 24% | Draw 24% | Lamphun Warrior 52%. Fair-value odds: Buriram United 4.17 | Draw 4.17 | Lamphun Warrior 1.92. Lamphun Warrior hold a narrow Poisson edge at 52% — the draw (24%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 62% | BTTS probability 62% | Total xG 3.18. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 62% — the 3.18 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 62% reflects that both xG figures (1.25 / 1.92) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Lamphun Warrior as the most likely outcome at 52% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 24% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Lamphun Warrior if the outright odds are short.

The Poisson model projects 3.18 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 62% — strong confidence, supported by form averaging 3.1 goals per game and H2H averaging 2.8 goals per meeting.

Poisson assigns a 62% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Buriram United 60% | Lamphun Warrior 50% BTTS from recent games.
