Port FC form and stats

There's been little loot from Port FC's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 9 away games in the Thai Premier League. Port FC only have 1 win to counter their 3 defeats and 5 draws.

Port FC had fun at their own home (Thammasat Stadium) last time out, beating Nongbua Pitchaya FC 2-1. Poeiphimai and de Sá scored. That victory felt good as this team had gone three league fixtures without victory. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager Holland when Poeiphimai scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 69th minute.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Khonkaen United wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

Take note! Both sides have scored in 9 of this club's latest 12 league matches.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Chiangrai United in just three days.

Port have conceded 11 goals in these away matches.
