There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Thai Premier League table so far. Here's the Buriram United - Muang Thong United latest:

Buriram have the home advantage this time in one of the biggest matchups in Thai football as Muang Thong United visits. Many Thai football followers consider this the biggest match in Thailand as both teams have been very successful in modern Thai football and have had several disputes both on and off the pitch. It's also urban vs rural. The supporters dislike each other intensely.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
