Nakhon Pathom form and stats

4 victories, 5 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Nakhon Pathom have to build on here at Kasetsart Kampangsan University Stadium in the Thai League Two. The last three games played by Nakhon, regardless of arena, have all ended draws.

The Nakhon Pathom coach Sukkoki and his crew return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Rayong (placed 9th).

0-0 away at Phrae United before that.

This is expected to be a close game, with Nakhon Pathom perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Nakhon Pathom as a small favourite), we find 9 games. Nakhon Pathom has won 1 of these, drawn 5 and lost 3.

Trench warfare? In this club's last 10 league matches, 9 have had two goals or less.

Nakhon are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 13 goals in 11 games.
