Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Buriram United 3.08 xG and Nong Bua Pitchaya 0.68 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: Buriram United attack 1.495 / defence 0.769 | Nong Bua Pitchaya attack 0.694 / defence 1.196. League average goals — home 1.724 / away 1.274. Buriram United carry an above-average attack strength of 1.495 — their λ of 3.08 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Buriram United's defence rating of 0.769 is below average — the home backline is amplifying the visitor's projected output. Data: 59 Buriram United games / 29 Nong Bua Pitchaya games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Buriram United 84% | Draw 11% | Nong Bua Pitchaya 5%. Fair-value odds: Buriram United 1.19 | Draw 9.09 | Nong Bua Pitchaya 20.00. The model has a clear lean to Buriram United (84%) — a 79pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 73% | BTTS probability 48% | Total xG 3.77. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 73% — a total xG of 3.77 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS probability of 48% 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 Buriram United at 84% — clear model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support.

Poisson projects 3.77 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 73% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by form averaging 3.5 goals per game.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 48% on No. Form rates corroborate: Buriram United 30% | Nong Bua Pitchaya 60% BTTS from recent games.
