Competition: Thailand Thai League Two

Match begins: 11:30 (UTC)
Venue: 700th Anniversary Stadium (25000 seats)

The bragging rights belong to Chiangmai United at this point, with the 3rd position in the Thai League Two table and eagerly waiting for Trat (who are sitting at 9th).

Insights:
  • Chiangmai United have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Trat have the most dropped points from leading position (16) in Thai League Two

These teams have little in common geographically as Trat have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

This promises to be an engaging match with lots of action and bustle as both sides are well refreshed since they last ran out on the pitch. Let's start!

Chiangmai United form and stats

Chiangmai United have played 12 Thai League Two games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 7-2-3 (wins-draws-losses).

Happy days for Chiangmai United in their previous game, a fixture away at Chainat Hornbill (placed 12th) that ended with a 3-2 victory.

Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Ranong United.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Chiangmai matches with similar probabilities have ended with 2 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat (from 6 games).

Chiangmai United are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 15 goals in 12 games. Chiangmai have conceded 15 in these home matches.

Trat form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Trat so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 2-4-6 (win-draw-lose). With two straight losses from their last two away games, Trat are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

The followers enjoyed Trat's previous game versus Raj Pracha (placed 15th), a 1-0 win played at home.

Prior to that match, the Trat manager Daoreung faced defeat when travelling to Customs United and losing 1-2.

Few goals the story here? 13 of this side's latest 17 league fixtures have had two goals or less.

Trat are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 15 away goals from 12 games (in the league). Trat struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 22 goals conceded from these games.

Head 2 Head

This was the score when the sides faced each other earlier this campaign; Trat - Chiangmai United 1-1.
