National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Huai Thalaeng United or Khonkaen 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.
Huai Thalaeng United form and stats
Thalaeng have reached this League Cup stage through battling and winning against Sisaket. Last season, Thalaeng's League Cup journey ended in the qualifying round.The team is doing great wherever they are playing as Huai Thalaeng United has won four games in a row. The Sisaket match was the last time out without a victory.
Happy days for Thalaeng in their previous game, a Thai League 3 match away at Sakon Nakhon that ended with a 2-0 victory.
Ahead of that match, Thalaeng won a home game hosting Yasothon (4-0).Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Thai League 3 game versus Surin Sugar in only three days. This game is also played here at His Majesty the King's 80th Birthday Anniversary, 5th December 2007 Stadium.
Khonkaen form and stats
Last season their League Cup adventure ended in the 1st round.The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Khonkaen so far with only 1 point returning home. The records show 0-1-5 (win-draw-lose).
Khonkaen lost away at Rayong (1-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick.
Preceding that, the 0-3 home loss versus Bangkok United.The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Trat in just four days.
Khonkaen has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 9 goals from 6 games. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Khonkaen's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 15 goals in 6 travels.
