National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Marines Eureka or Chiangmai that keep their silverware dream alive.
It's no vacation for neither Marines nor Chiangmai 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.
Marines Eureka form and stats
Marines have reached this League Cup stage through battling and winning against Kohkwang. Marines was eliminated in the 1st qualifying round last season in the League Cup.With seven home Thai League 3 games in a row without a win, the Marines fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Pattaya United game long ago, can be stopped today.
The fans are hoping that Marines Eureka will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-6 away loss in the Thai League 3 game against Pattaya United. Marines were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
Preceding that match was the home Thai League 3 game against Kabin United that was lost 1-2.The match schedule is unforgiving for Marines as they have a new game in only three days, a Thai League 3 match thankfully also at home. Kohkwang are visiting.
