Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Muang Loei United & BG Pathum United face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the FA Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It's no vacation for neither Muang Loei United nor BG Pathum United as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Muang Loei United form and stats
Muang Loei United have not come this way in the FA Cup without some hard work on the way, more precisely defeating Kanjanapat Group and Chiangmai. Muang participated in FA Cup the last season, where they reached the 3rd round.Ever since the Lamphun Warrior game Muang Loei United has been unbeatable here producing five straight wins.
Muang Loei United are returning here after visiting Chaiyaphum United in a Thai League 3 game and winning with a 7-0 scoreline. As mentioned above, Muang "killed" Chaiyaphum United in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
Ahead of that match, Muang won a home game hosting Surin (2-1).Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Thai League 3 game versus Huai Thalaeng United in only three days. This game is also played here.
BG Pathum United form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Udon United in order to reach 2nd round of FA Cup. BG Pathum United's mission in FA Cup last season failed in the 2nd round.The story so far for the visiting team on their Thai Premier League travels is 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats. Pathum seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
There might be some fixture complaints from Pathum as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Thai Premier League match against Port (0-1).
It was a Thai Premier League defeat before that one as the away game against Nong Bua Pitchaya wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.The schedule is very tough for Pathum now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Thai Premier League game at Prachuap is waiting in only four days.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far BG Pathum United have scored 7 goals in 6 league games away. 6 goals have been conceded by Pathum in these games.
