Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Nakhon Ratchasima FC 1.47 xG and Bangkok United 1.65 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 Ratchasima FC attack 0.878 / defence 1.072 | Bangkok United attack 1.226 / defence 0.978. League average goals — home 1.713 / away 1.257. Bangkok United have an above-average attack strength of 1.226 — the away xG of 1.65 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Data: 5 Nakhon Ratchasima FC games / 35 Bangkok United games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Nakhon Ratchasima FC 31% | Draw 30% | Bangkok United 39%. Fair-value odds: Nakhon Ratchasima FC 3.23 | Draw 3.33 | Bangkok United 2.56. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 30% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 60% | BTTS probability 65% | Total xG 3.12. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 60% — the 3.12 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 65% reflects that both xG figures (1.47 / 1.65) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Analysis Verdict

On the Poisson output, Bangkok United are the pick at 39% — marginal model lean. With a 30% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Bangkok United offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 31% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

Poisson projects 3.12 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 60% probability — strong conviction, supported by form averaging 2.8 goals per game and H2H averaging 3.2 goals per meeting.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 65%. Form rates corroborate: Nakhon Ratchasima FC 100% | Bangkok United 60% BTTS from recent games.

The outsider holds a 31% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should not be treated as one. Proportionate stakes are appropriate given the genuine contest the data projects.
