Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects BG Pathum United 2.60 xG and Nakhon Pathom 1.05 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: BG Pathum United attack 1.212 / defence 0.856 | Nakhon Pathom attack 0.929 / defence 1.245. League average goals — home 1.721 / away 1.320. Nakhon Pathom's defence rating of 1.245 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing BG Pathum United's projected output up. Data: built from BG Pathum United's last 43 games and Nakhon Pathom's last 14.

Result probabilities: BG Pathum United 69% | Draw 19% | Nakhon Pathom 12%. Fair-value odds: BG Pathum United 1.44 | Draw 5.36 | Nakhon Pathom 8.38. The model has a clear lean to BG Pathum United (69%) — a 50pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 71% | BTTS Yes probability 61% | Total xG 3.65. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 71% — a total xG of 3.65 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS Yes at 61% — both xG figures (2.60 / 1.05) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Our Verdict

Poisson rates BG Pathum United as the most likely outcome at 69% — clear model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 19% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

Poisson projects 3.65 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 71% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (BG Pathum United's last 10 home games and Nakhon Pathom's last 7 away games) averaging 3.5 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 61%. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: BG Pathum United 50% (last 10 home games) | Nakhon Pathom 71% (last 7 away games).
