It's the second possibility for points this campaign as Sukhothai and Khonkaen battle it out at Thung Talay Luang Stadium.

This promises to be an intriguing fixture with lots of spark and bustle as both contenders are well recovered since they last ran out on the pitch. Let's get started!

W L D L W

Sukhothai form and stats

Last season, Sukhothai's league results were 8 wins, 4 draws and 18 losses, providing 14th position in the Thai Premier League. During these 30 matches they scored 40 goals and conceded 57. Appearing as the host team in the previous season Sukhothai generated 5-2-8 (win-draw-lost) with 23 goals and 25 conceded. Sukhothai have only played one Thai League Two game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 5 wins, 2 draws and 8 defeats from 15 matches. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Thung Talay Luang Stadium.

Sukhothai's previous game was a Thai League Two match also played at home, ending 5-0 versus Ayutthaya United (placed 18th). The home side are looking to build on that result. As indicated by the result mentioned above, Sukhothai played a great game against Ayutthaya United and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Suphanburi (0-1).

There will be little rest for Sukhothai after this match as they are travelling to Trat for a Thai League Two game in only four days.

Sukhothai has scored 5 goals so far and conceded 0 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.

Khonkaen form and stats

Let's have a look at how Khonkaen performed last season in the Thai League Two: They landed a 10th position in the league table after playing out 11 victories, 8 draws and 15 defeats. In total they scored 34 and conceded 38 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 5 - drew 5 and lost 7 with 11/15 goals scored/conceded. Recent form does not give Khonkaen much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Sukhothai will be a tough nut to crack.

Khonkaen are looking to quickly end their 285 minutes long goal drought in the Thai League Two.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Thai League Two home defeat versus Customs United with 0-2 on the scoreboard.

Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Customs United.

The schedule is very tough for Khonkaen now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Thai League Two game at Lamphun Warrior is waiting in only four days.
