3 victories, 5 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Uthai Thani have to build on here at Uthai Thani Province Stadium in the Thai League Two. Uthai Thani has recorded two wins in a row here at Uthai Thani Province Stadium, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.

Uthai Thani lost their last game at Krabi (placed 16th) after a 0-3 scoreline. Before that loss this team had gone seven consecutive league meetings without a defeat.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Uthai have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 6 games) they have won 1 time, drawn 3 and lost 2.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Uthai Thani, as the FA Cup home game vs Buriram United is only three days away.
