BG Pathum United vs Nong Bua Pitchaya

BG Pathum United will be looking to bounce back from a poor run of form in the Thai League 1 when they take on mid-table Nong Bua Pitchaya at the BG Stadium.

Pathum United came from a 1-0 half-time deficit to hold Muang Thong United to a 2-2 away draw last time out, making it three Thai League 1 stalemates in a row. The hosts are now winless in five consecutive league games (D3, L2), falling six points behind pacesetters Buriram United in the process. However, the ‘Rabbits’ will feel confident about returning to winning ways here, having won their previous four top-flight home outings in a row by an aggregate score of 5-1, with each of their last three such triumphs yielding a narrow 1-0 scoreline. Surachai Jaturapattarapong’s men will be driven by revenge here following a dreadful 3-1 defeat in the reverse fixture back in November. Conceding first would dent Pathum’s hopes of claiming vengeance, given that they’ve lost three out of four league games when falling behind this term (D1).

Meanwhile, Nong Bua Pitchaya eked out a 3-2 home victory over Chonburi last time out, bringing a three-game Thai League 1 winless streak to an end (D1, L2). High scoring has been a common theme in the visitors’ competitive matches this calendar year as all three have seen over 2.5 goals and both teams on the scoresheet. That’s also been the case in their last three road trips in all competitions (W1, D1, L1), two of which witnessed the ‘Gamecocks’ score the opener with 15 minutes of play. That said, cagey entries have highlighted Nong Bua’s away Thai League 1 matches this season, with Thawatchai Damrong-Ongtrakul’s side netting just three first-half goals in their seven top-flight travels so far.
