Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Chonburi FC 1.16 xG and Muangthong United 1.51 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: Chonburi FC attack 0.658 / defence 1.105 | Muangthong United attack 1.039 / defence 1.059. League average goals — home 1.669 / away 1.318. Chonburi FC's attack strength of 0.658 is below the league average — the 1.16 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Data: 43 Chonburi FC games / 44 Muangthong United games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Chonburi FC 28% | Draw 28% | Muangthong United 44%. Fair-value odds: Chonburi FC 3.57 | Draw 3.57 | Muangthong United 2.27. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 28% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 50% | BTTS probability 55% | Total xG 2.67. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 50%/50% — the total xG of 2.67 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 55% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Muangthong United at 44% — marginal model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 28% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Muangthong United if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 28% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

The Poisson model projects 2.67 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 50% — strong confidence, supported by form averaging 2.8 goals per game and H2H averaging 3.8 goals per meeting.

Poisson assigns a 55% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Chonburi FC 50% | Muangthong United 60% BTTS from recent games.
