Competition: Thailand Thai Premier League
Date: Sat 22.June
Match begins: 13:00 (UTC)
Venue: Chang Arena (33325 seats)

A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The home fans are optimistic that the difference between 1st and 14th place in the table will show on the pitch.

It's no vacation for neither Buriram United 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.

It's quite the trip for Chiangmai when visiting Buriram United as the cities are 800 kilometers apart.

Buriram United form and stats

Buriram United, who have the most points (18) at home in Thai Premier League, are steadily winning games and points here at Chang Arena. 5 wins, 3 draws and 0 defeats is the summary from 8 games. The team is able to perform also as the away side, as they are nurturing a very healthy winning streak of four straight victories regardless of arena. Ever since the Urawa Reds game Buriram United has been unbeatable here at Chang Arena producing five straight wins.

Buriram United's previous game was a Thai Premier League match also played at home, ending 4-0 versus Chiangmai. The home side are looking to build on that result. Previous to that game, a FA Cup home match hosting Lampang in a game that was won 4-1.

Chiangmai form and stats

Chiangmai, who have the most conceded goals (31) in Thai Premier League, have only collected 3 points from their away games after 1-0-6 (7 played). It's all red in the travel logs of Chiangmai, having lost six matches in a row as the visiting team. It's a growing despair in Chiangmai as they have recorded three consecutive losses.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Chiangmai, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-4 versus Buriram United. A 0-2 loss hosting PTT Rayong before that.

Nobody expects Chiangmai to collect points from a game like this. The team has been David versus Goliath 43 times before, with the overall statistics of won 12, draw 11 and lost 20. When defeated, 8 matches have been lost by two or more goals.

Chiangmai are not goal shy away from home, finding the net 12 times in 7 away games so far. The Chiangmai defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 24 goals in their away games.
