Khonkaen United form and stats
2-2-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Thai Premier League numbers at home for Khonkaen United so far this season. When Khonkaen United hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Suphanburi, Police Tero FC, Prachuap, Khonkaen United and Chiangmai United), they have won 1 of 2 matches!
Khonkaen are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 203 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by J. Palapon).
In their previous game, the manager C. Biasi Parreira led his Khonkaen to a defeat in the FA Cup match away at Police Tero FC. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Khon Kaen Stadium. Heartbreak for Khonkaen in their last match as Police Tero FC's T. Winothai scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
Prior to that, an away loss at Buriram United in the Thai Premier League.Khonkaen aren't scoring a lot here at Khon Kaen Stadium in the league, with only 5 goals from 7 games. Khonkaen United have conceded 13 from these games.
Samut Prakan City form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Samut Prakan City so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-4 (win-draw-lose). The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on M. Ishii, the Prakan manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
Prakan go into this game after a win, the home game against Rasi Salai United that ended 2-0.
A 1-2 loss hosting Suphanburi before that.Many goals are not expected from the visiting Prakan as they have only managed to score 6 times from 8 away games in the league. 9 goals have been conceded by Prakan in these games.
