National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Police Tero FC or Khonkaen United that keep their silverware dream alive.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Police Tero FC form and stats
Action has already taken place for Police in FA Cup as they have defeated Chiangrai Dragon to reach the 2nd Round. Last season their FA Cup adventure ended in the 2nd round.Police Tero FC have collected 11 points from their Thai Premier League home games so far after 3-2-0. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Boonyachinda Stadium.
Police Tero FC shared the glory with Prachuap in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1.
Previous to that game, a Thai Premier League home match hosting Suphanburi in a game that was won 1-0.The match schedule is unforgiving for Police Tero FC as they have a new game in only three days, a Thai Premier League match thankfully also at home. Chiangmai United are visiting.
A decent goal production from Police in their home games so far, with 9 goals from 5 league matches. 5 goals have been conceded.
Khonkaen United form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Rayong in order to reach 2nd round of FA Cup. They also participated in FA Cup last season. This ended in the qualifying round.The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Khonkaen United so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 2-0-5 (win-draw-lose).
Khonkaen have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 203 minutes ago. J. Palapon was the goal scorer.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Khonkaen, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-4 versus Buriram United. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Buriram United was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.
A 0-1 loss hosting True Bangkok United before that.A quick return to home after this game, as Khonkaen are hosting Samut Prakan City in the Thai Premier League only three days away.
Khonkaen have scored 8 goals on their travels this season, from 7 away games in the league. The Khonkaen United manager C. Biasi Parreira has some worries about the defense as 14 goals have been conceded in these travels.
