Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects BG Pathum United 1.77 xG and Prachuap 1.37 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: BG Pathum United attack 1.108 / defence 1.015 | Prachuap attack 1.063 / defence 1.043. League average goals — home 1.535 / away 1.272. Data: built from BG Pathum United's last 31 games and Prachuap's last 31. Some of those games are older results, so treat these probabilities as directional rather than precise.

Result probabilities: BG Pathum United 47% | Draw 23% | Prachuap 30%. Fair-value odds: BG Pathum United 2.13 | Draw 4.32 | Prachuap 3.35. BG Pathum United hold a narrow Poisson edge at 47% — the draw (23%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 61% | BTTS Yes probability 62% | Total xG 3.15. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 61% — the 3.15 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 62% — both xG figures (1.77 / 1.37) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates BG Pathum United as the most likely outcome at 47% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 23% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on BG Pathum United if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 30% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

The Poisson model projects 3.15 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 61% — strong conviction, supported by recent form (BG Pathum United's last 10 home games and Prachuap's last 10 away games) averaging 3.2 goals per game and the H2H data averaging 4.0 goals per game across 4 H2H matches.

Poisson assigns a 62% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: BG Pathum United 60% (last 10 home games) | Prachuap 80% (last 10 away games).

The Poisson model's sample (BG Pathum United 31 games, Prachuap 31) includes some older results, so its projections carry extra uncertainty — weight recent form and the odds accordingly.
