Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Muangthong United 1.46 xG and Buriram United 1.62 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 1.106 / defence 0.896 | Buriram United attack 1.505 / defence 0.803. League average goals — home 1.642 / away 1.202. Buriram United have an above-average attack rating of 1.505, which lifts their away xG to 1.62. Data: built from Muangthong United's last 50 games and Buriram United's last 51.

Result probabilities: Muangthong United 34% | Draw 25% | Buriram United 41%. Fair-value odds: Muangthong United 2.95 | Draw 3.97 | Buriram United 2.44. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 25% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 59% | BTTS Yes probability 62% | Total xG 3.08. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 59% — the 3.08 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 62% — both xG figures (1.46 / 1.62) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Buriram United at 41% — marginal model lean. The head-to-head data (Buriram United 4 wins from 7 H2H matches) corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 25% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Buriram United if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 34% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

On the goals line, Poisson's 3.08 combined xG gives a 59% probability to Over 2.5 — strong conviction, supported by recent form (Muangthong United's last 10 home games and Buriram United's last 10 away games) averaging 3.1 goals per game and the H2H data averaging 3.1 goals per game across 7 H2H matches.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 62%. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Muangthong United 60% (last 10 home games) | Buriram United 50% (last 10 away games).
