National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Chonburi or Suphanburi that keep their silverware dream alive.
Chonburi form and stats
Chonburi have not come this way in the FA Cup without some hard work on the way, more precisely defeating Kalasin Sauropod and Lamphun Warrior. Last season their FA Cup adventure ended in the 1st round.The story so far in the Thai Premier League for Chonburi at their home stadium is 5 wins, 0 draws and 3 defeats. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Chonburi, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
Chonburi's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-2 versus Buriram United. In the preceding match a 2-1 victory visiting Sukhothai.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Chonburi as they are travelling to their away game against Nakhon Ratchasima in the Thai Premier League. That match is four days after this one.
The Chonburi fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 12 goals in 8 league matches. Chonburi have conceded 12 from these games.
Suphanburi form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Lampang and Marines Eureka in order to reach 3rd Round of FA Cup. Suphanburi's mission in FA Cup last season failed in the 2nd round.Suphanburi have only collected 7 points from their away games in the Thai Premier League, after 2-1-6 (9 played). With the Suphanburi losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Suphanburi are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.
Suphanburi are travelling again after losing away to Muang Thong United in their previous match (1-3). Prior to that match, the Suphanburi manager A. Gbadebo faced defeat when travelling to Bangkok Glass and losing 0-4.
Suphanburi has another fixture away, a Thai Premier League game, against Prachuap in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
The attacking power of Suphanburi when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 9 league matches away. The Suphanburi manager A. Gbadebo has some worries about the defense as 18 goals have been conceded in these travels. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Chonburi three wins, five draws and Suphanburi two victories. As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), seven games had two or less.Chonburi missing players
