Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Ratchaburi 1.03 xG and BG Pathum United 1.04 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: Ratchaburi attack 0.866 / defence 0.788 | BG Pathum United attack 1.118 / defence 0.920. League average goals — home 1.298 / away 1.186. Ratchaburi's defence rating of 0.788 is below average — the home backline is amplifying the visitor's projected output. Data: 43 Ratchaburi games / 43 BG Pathum United games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Ratchaburi 34% | Draw 32% | BG Pathum United 34%. Fair-value odds: Ratchaburi 2.94 | Draw 3.12 | BG Pathum United 2.94. The draw (32%) is the Poisson-preferred outcome — neither side is more likely to win than to draw, making draw-inclusive markets the most model-aligned approach.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 34% | BTTS probability 43% | Total xG 2.08. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 66% probability — total xG of 2.08 sits well below the 2.5 threshold. The model is projecting a tight, low-scoring match based on both sides' defensive quality. BTTS probability of 43% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Analysis Verdict

The Poisson model's preferred outcome is the draw at 32% — neither side is more likely to win than to draw. Draw-inclusive markets are the most model-aligned approach. Home win at 34% and away win at 34% are close enough that backing either outright carries significant draw exposure.

Poisson projects 2.08 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 34% probability — Poisson-only — limited corroboration conviction.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is No at 43%. Form rates are neutral: Ratchaburi 70% | BG Pathum United 40%.

The outsider holds a 34% 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.
