Form Guide

Police Tero — last 10 games: 4W 3D 3L, averaging 1.50 points per game. Last five: W W W D L. Offensively they are averaging 1.70 goals per game, with 1.60 conceded. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%). Both teams have scored in 80% of their matches — an extremely high rate that makes BTTS Yes a well-supported standalone angle from their form alone.

At home they are averaging 1.40 goals scored and 0.70 conceded per game. 5 clean sheets from their last 10 home games (50%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at home. Their home PPG of 2.00 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.50 — Police Tero are significantly better at home than their overall form suggests.

Across their last 10 games, Chonburi FC have recorded 2W 2D 6L — 0.80 PPG. Last five: W L L D D. Their scoring rate of 1.10 per game is modest, conceding 1.70 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%). Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.

When travelling, Chonburi FC have posted 1W 1D 8L from their last 10 away outings — 0.40 PPG. Away from home they average 0.90 goals scored and 1.90 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context.

Police Tero carry the stronger recent momentum — 0.70 PPG ahead of their opponents on 1.50 vs 0.80. The form data is a point in their favour, and where the price allows, it is the cleaner directional bet.

Head to Head

The H2H picture is flat: the 4 H2H matches we hold have produced 2 wins for Police Tero, 2 for Chonburi FC and 0 draws. Form and model data should carry more weight here.

The 4 H2H matches in our data have been high-scoring — 3.8 goals per game on average — which backs the Over 2.5 market from the head-to-head side. The most recent of those, on 22 Jan 2023, ended Police Tero 3–5 Chonburi FC — a Chonburi FC win.

With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H signal is in the goals market — at 3.8 goals per game, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle from the head-to-head data.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Police Tero 1.71 xG and Chonburi FC 1.25 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: Police Tero attack 1.133 / defence 1.094 | Chonburi FC attack 1.118 / defence 1.167. League average goals — home 1.294 / away 1.019. Data: built from Police Tero's last 32 games and Chonburi FC's last 32. Some of those games are older results, so treat these probabilities as directional rather than precise.

Result probabilities: Police Tero 47% | Draw 27% | Chonburi FC 26%. Fair-value odds: Police Tero 2.14 | Draw 3.73 | Chonburi FC 3.79. Police Tero hold a narrow Poisson edge at 47% — the draw (27%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 57% | BTTS Yes probability 60% | Total xG 2.96. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 57% — the 2.96 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 60% — both xG figures (1.71 / 1.25) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Analysis Verdict

On the Poisson output, Police Tero are the pick at 47% — moderate model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 27% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Police Tero offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

The Poisson model projects 2.96 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 57% — reasonable conviction, supported by the H2H data averaging 3.8 goals per game across 4 H2H matches.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 60% on Yes. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Police Tero 50% (last 10 home games) | Chonburi FC 60% (last 10 away games).

The Poisson model's sample (Police Tero 32 games, Chonburi FC 32) includes some older results, so its projections carry extra uncertainty — weight recent form and the odds accordingly.
