National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Khonkaen United or Lamphun Warrior that keep their silverware dream alive.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Khonkaen United and Lamphun Warrior.
Khonkaen United form and stats
Khonkaen was eliminated in the 2nd round last season in the FA Cup.1-2-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Thai Premier League numbers at home for Khonkaen United so far this season.
Khonkaen United travelled for their previous game, a trip to PT Prachuap FC that ended 1-1.
Preceding that game was the home draw versus Buriram United that ended 1-1.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Khonkaen have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 5 games) they have won 3 times, drawn 1 and lost 1.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Khonkaen United as they have a new game in only four days, a Thai Premier League match thankfully also at home. Muang Thong United are visiting.
The lack of attacking qualities in Khonkaen United means that they have only scored {2 goals} in 5 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Khonkaen United have conceded 6 in these home matches.
Lamphun Warrior form and stats
Lamphun's mission in FA Cup last season failed in the 3rd round.The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Lamphun Warrior so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-3 (win-draw-lose).
This match can not go any worse than the previous one, the home loss versus Muang Thong United with 0-5 on the scoreboard. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Muang Thong United was particularly ugly (0-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.
Ahead of that match was the victory versus Nongbua Pitchaya FC at their stadium, the result 1-0.Lamphun Warrior are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 4 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats. From a total of 8 matches.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Lamphun Warrior manager Chalermsang as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against True Bangkok United.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Lamphun Warrior's away games in the league this season with only {3 goals} from 7 matches. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (5 so far).
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the prior two meetings involving these two squads are: one win for Khonkaen, one draw and zero wins for Lamphun Warrior. Over 2,5 goals: one time; under 2,5 goals: one game.
