Recent Form

Across their last 10 games, Uthai Thani have gone 3W 1D 6L — a 1.00 PPG return. Last five: L D L L L. They are averaging 1.10 goals per game and conceding 1.50 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%).

Uthai Thani's home record over their last 10 home games: 5W 2D 3L (1.70 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.60 goals scored and 1.10 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture. Their home PPG of 1.70 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.00 — Uthai Thani are significantly better at home than their overall form suggests.

Sukhothai FC — last 10 games: 5W 3D 2L — 1.80 PPG. Last five: L D W D W. They are scoring at 1.70 per game and conceding 1.40. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings (30%). Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.

On the road, Sukhothai FC have gone 1W 4D 5L in their last 10 away fixtures (0.70 PPG). Away from home they average 1.00 goals scored and 2.30 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 70% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture. Their away PPG of 0.70 is notably below their overall 1.80 — form away from home has been a clear weakness recently.

Form points away from home here. Sukhothai FC's 1.80 PPG return is 0.80 points per game ahead of Uthai Thani's 1.00 — the visitors are the form-based selection, and Double Chance is an alternative worth pricing if the outright looks tight.

The BTTS market is worth targeting here. Both teams have scored in 60% of Uthai Thani's games and 70% of Sukhothai FC's (from Uthai Thani's last 10 home games and Sukhothai FC's last 10 away games) — both sides above the 60% threshold gives BTTS Yes firm statistical grounding.

Head to Head

There is little to separate the sides in our head-to-head data. From 3 H2H matches, Uthai Thani have won 2, Sukhothai FC 0, with 1 draw — a balanced record that offers no clear steer on its own. With only 3 H2H matches to go on, treat this as a light input.

Goals have been a feature of this fixture — the 3 H2H matches in our data averaged 3.0 per game, which gives Over 2.5 a solid head-to-head foundation. The most recent of those, on 31 Aug 2024, ended Uthai Thani 3–2 Sukhothai FC — a Uthai Thani win.

With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H signal is in the goals market — at 3.0 goals per game, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle from the head-to-head data.

In-Play Profile

Uthai Thani in-play tendencies (last 47 games, 22 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 64% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 88% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 62% of those occasions; of the 11 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 36%; BTTS occurs in 64% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 46% of games (home games); they fail to score in 32% of games.

Sukhothai FC in-play tendencies (last 47 games, 22 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 86% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 60% of the time; of the 22 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 32%; BTTS occurs in 68% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 64% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 47%.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Uthai Thani 57% versus Sukhothai FC 60%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Uthai Thani 55% | Sukhothai FC 64%). There is an in-play dynamic worth noting: Uthai Thani surrender their half-time lead 36% of the time, while Sukhothai FC have come from behind at the break to draw or win in 32% of cases — a combination that makes laying the hosts at HT a potential angle.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Uthai Thani 1.37 xG and Sukhothai FC 1.16 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 0.811 / defence 1.054 | Sukhothai FC attack 0.925 / defence 0.971. League average goals — home 1.745 / away 1.189. Data: built from Uthai Thani's last 47 games and Sukhothai FC's last 48.

Result probabilities: Uthai Thani 41% | Draw 29% | Sukhothai FC 31%. Fair-value odds: Uthai Thani 2.46 | Draw 3.48 | Sukhothai FC 3.27. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 29% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 46% | BTTS Yes probability 52% | Total xG 2.53. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 46%/54% — the total xG of 2.53 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 52% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Summary & Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Uthai Thani at 41% — marginal model lean. Note a divergence: in-form Sukhothai FC (1.80 PPG) cuts against the Poisson lean — the model adjusts for opposition strength, which raw form results do not. With a 29% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Uthai Thani offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 31% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

The Poisson model projects 2.53 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 54% — low conviction — though recent form (Uthai Thani's last 10 home games and Sukhothai FC's last 10 away games) averaging 3.0 goals per game and the H2H data averaging 3.0 goals per game across 3 H2H matches point the other way.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 52% on Yes. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Uthai Thani 60% (last 10 home games) | Sukhothai FC 70% (last 10 away games).
