Chiangmai's previous game was also played at home, ending 2-0 versus Kasetsart (placed 12th). The home side are looking to build on that result. A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Chiangmai, who played 2-0 against Kasetsart. That match was also played at this venue (700th Anniversary Stadium). Chiangmai's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 2-0 versus Kasetsart (placed 12th).
