Khonkaen United form and stats

4 wins, 2 draws and 7 losses. That’s the product of Khonkaen United playing as the away team in the Thai Premier League this season. Two points from the last two away games for Khonkaen, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.

Khonkaen United are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 2-2 draw at Bangkok United (placed 3rd). Drawing 2-2 against Bangkok United after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager Parreira needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.

Prior to that match, a home win 2-1 against Chiangmai United.

Khonkaen United are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is four wins, two draws and three defeats. From a total of nine matches.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Khonkaen manager Parreira as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Ratchaburi Mitrphol FC.

Khonkaen United have scored 14 goals on their travels this season, from 13 away games in the league. Khonkaen United's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 21 goals from these trips.
