These are busy days for the host team, as they were in action only three days ago in the FA Cup. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at True Bangkok United.

Nakhonratchasima Mazda FC form and stats

Nakhonratchasima Mazda FC have collected 13 points from their Thai Premier League home games so far after 3-4-4. When Nakhonratchasima Mazda FC hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Lamphun Warrior, Prachuap, Khonkaen United, Nakhonratchasima Mazda FC and Nong Bua Pitchaya), they have won 2 of 4 matches! We have seen two home losses in a row now for Nakhonratchasima Mazda FC, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

The regulars are hoping that Nakhonratchasima Mazda FC will fight back in this game, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the FA Cup fixture against True Bangkok United.

Prior to that, an away loss at Khonkaen United in the Thai Premier League.

Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 18 goals have been conceded.

Lampang form and stats

Lampang have only collected 4 points from their away games in the Thai Premier League, after 0-4-6 (10 played). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Lampang have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone ten consecutive matches without winning on the road.

Lampang go into this game after a win, the home game against Ratchaburi Mitrphol FC that ended 1-0. That win was so important for this team, after a horrific sequence of twelve league rounds in a row not winning.

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Sukhothai that ended 1-1.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Lampang playing away, we found 7 games. Results were 0 away wins, 3 draws and 4 home wins.

Few goals? 5 league games in a row with this team have had zero, one or two goals.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Lampang as they have only managed to score 8 times from 10 away games in the league.

Head 2 Head

It's not the first time these two teams meet on the pitch this campaign, as the fixture list show this recent match: Lampang - Nakhonratchasima Mazda FC 2-1.
