Chonburi form and stats

Chonburi, who have the most conceded goals (18) at home in Thai Premier League, have played 11 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-3-2 (wins-draws-losses).

Chonburi drew their last game, also a home match. Sukhothai was the opponent, 2-2 the score. Before that, Chonburi had a home game versus Bangkok United which ended with a victory 2-1.

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 Chonburi have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found four games) they have won 0 times, drawn 4 and lost 0.

With an average of more than two goals per home game (23 in 11 games), Chonburi's attacking play is working. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Chonburi defense is not exactly impregnable. 18 goals conceded from 11 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
