Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Muangthong United 1.79 xG and BG Pathum United 1.35 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: Muangthong United attack 1.146 / defence 0.836 | BG Pathum United attack 1.457 / defence 0.940. League average goals — home 1.659 / away 1.113. BG Pathum United have an above-average attack rating of 1.457, which lifts their away xG to 1.35. Data: built from Muangthong United's last 37 games and BG Pathum United's last 38.

Result probabilities: Muangthong United 46% | Draw 27% | BG Pathum United 27%. Fair-value odds: Muangthong United 2.18 | Draw 3.74 | BG Pathum United 3.65. Muangthong United hold a narrow Poisson edge at 46% — the draw (27%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 61% | BTTS Yes probability 64% | Total xG 3.14. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 61% — the 3.14 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 64% — both xG figures (1.79 / 1.35) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Summary & Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Muangthong United at 46% — moderate model lean. With a 27% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Muangthong United offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.
