Competition: Thailand Thai Premier League
Date: Sat 26.October
Match begins: 13:00 (UTC)
Venue: 80th Birthday Stadium (20141 seats)

An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 12th and the visitors in 14th place.

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

Nakhon Ratchasima can neither be promoted or relegated from Thai Premier League. Sukhothai is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
