Chiangrai United host Buriram United at LEO Chiangrai Stadium in Thai League 1, Regular Season - 15. Kick-off is scheduled for Sunday 28 November 2021 at 12:00 UTC.

Form Guide

Chiangrai United — All Games: 6W 0D 4L from 10 Thai League 1 outings this season, averaging 1.80 points per game. Last five: L L W L W. They are averaging 1.20 goals per game and conceding 1.50 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 4 clean sheets in 10 games (40%) reflects a solid defensive base. Both teams have scored in just 30% of their matches, indicating a tendency toward clean sheets or low-scoring outcomes. This season is still relatively young for Chiangrai United, so this record blends games from this season and last.

At home at LEO Chiangrai Stadium, Chiangrai United have gone 2W 2D 4L this season (8 games, 1.00 PPG). At home they are averaging 0.88 goals scored and 1.88 conceded per game. Somewhat surprisingly, their home PPG of 1.00 lags behind their overall 1.80 — the home advantage has not translated into superior results at LEO Chiangrai Stadium this season.

Across all Thai League 1 games this season, Buriram United have recorded 7W 1D 2L from 10 outings — 2.20 PPG. Last five: W L D L W. They are scoring at 1.60 per game and conceding 0.50. Defensively, 0.50 goals conceded per game is elite-level — a side this difficult to score against is a real threat to Over 2.5 and BTTS Yes. 6 clean sheets from 10 games (60%) is an exceptional defensive record — they are keeping clean sheets more often than not. Both teams have scored in only 20% of their fixtures — a very low rate that strongly backs BTTS No. This season is still relatively young for Buriram United, so this record blends games from this season and last.

When travelling in Thai League 1 this season, Buriram United have posted 3W 0D 3L from 6 away outings — 1.50 PPG. Away from home they average 1.00 goals scored and 1.00 conceded per game. Away from home, both teams have scored in only 17% of games — a low rate that backs BTTS No when they travel. Their away PPG of 1.50 is notably below their overall 2.20 — form away from home has been a clear weakness this season.

The form figures are too closely matched to derive a directional pick: Chiangrai United 1.80 PPG, Buriram United 2.20 PPG. Look to other data sets to build the analysis.

In-Play Profile

Chiangrai United in-play tendencies (14 games, 6 at home): they score before half-time in 50% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 80% of the time; BTTS occurs in 17% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 43%.

Buriram United in-play tendencies (14 games, 6 at away): they score before half-time in 33% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 75% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 75% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 17% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 17% of games (away games); they keep a clean sheet 57% of the time; they fail to score in 36% of games.

The in-play data supports BTTS No — both teams show low combined scoring rates (Chiangrai United 43% | Buriram United 21%). The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Chiangrai United 57% | Buriram United 36%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Chiangrai United 0.74 xG and Buriram United 1.48 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: Chiangrai United attack 0.674 / defence 1.674 | Buriram United attack 0.818 / defence 1.036. League average goals — home 1.061 / away 1.082. Chiangrai United's attack strength of 0.674 is below the league average — the 0.74 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Data: 14 Chiangrai United games / 14 Buriram United games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Chiangrai United 19% | Draw 26% | Buriram United 55%. Fair-value odds: Chiangrai United 5.26 | Draw 3.85 | Buriram United 1.82. The model has a clear lean to Buriram United (55%) — a 36pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 38% | BTTS probability 40% | Total xG 2.22. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 62% — total xG of 2.22 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 40% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Analysis Verdict

On the Poisson output, Buriram United are the pick at 55% — clear model lean. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 26% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.22 combined xG gives a 38% probability to Under 2.5 — Poisson-only — limited corroboration.

Poisson assigns a 40% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Chiangrai United 38% | Buriram United 17% BTTS from recent games.
