Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Nakhon Pathom 1.80 xG and Nong Bua Pitchaya 1.36 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: Nakhon Pathom attack 0.759 / defence 1.247 | Nong Bua Pitchaya attack 0.932 / defence 1.436. League average goals — home 1.654 / away 1.174. Nakhon Pathom's attack rating of 0.759 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 1.80. Nong Bua Pitchaya's defence rating of 1.436 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Nakhon Pathom's projected output up. Nakhon Pathom's defence rating of 1.247 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Nong Bua Pitchaya's projected output up. Data: built from Nakhon Pathom's last 46 games and Nong Bua Pitchaya's last 16.

Result probabilities: Nakhon Pathom 47% | Draw 25% | Nong Bua Pitchaya 28%. Fair-value odds: Nakhon Pathom 2.13 | Draw 4.06 | Nong Bua Pitchaya 3.53. Nakhon Pathom hold a narrow Poisson edge at 47% — the draw (25%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 61% | BTTS Yes probability 63% | Total xG 3.17. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 61% — the 3.17 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 63% — both xG figures (1.80 / 1.36) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Picks & Verdict

On the Poisson output, Nakhon Pathom are the pick at 47% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 25% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Nakhon Pathom 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 3.17 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 61% — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (Nakhon Pathom's last 10 home games and Nong Bua Pitchaya's last 7 away games) averaging 3.3 goals per game.

Poisson assigns a 63% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Nakhon Pathom 50% (last 10 home games) | Nong Bua Pitchaya 86% (last 7 away games).
