Muang Thong United vs BG Pathum United

Thunder Dome Stadium is the venue as Muang Thong United and BG Pathum United go head-to-head in an upper-half-of-the-table Thai League 1 encounter.

A lack of consistency has seen none of Muang Thong United’s last eight league matches feature identical outcomes twice in a row (W4, D2, L2), 50% of which witnessed over 2.5 goals and both teams on the scoresheet. Against this backdrop, they’ve been nothing if not consistent at home this season, going unbeaten in all eight league games at the Thunder Dome Stadium (W6, D2) while winning the last five in a row by an aggregate score of 13-4. They must be brimming with confidence ahead of this clash, knowing they haven’t lost any of their previous 11 top-flight H2Hs on home turf (W9, D2). Muang Thong netted 2+ goals eight times during that 11-game sequence, which has been the case in all but one of their eight home league fixtures this season.

In the meantime, after winning six of their seven Thai League 1 outings between October and November (D1), Pathum United have gone winless in their last four league fixtures (D2, L2), scoring just twice in that period. Indeed, the ‘Rabbits’ have found the away goals hard to come by lately, drawing a blank in three of their last five top-flight travels while scoring precisely once in the remaining two. However, the travelling fans could expect their side to make an early push to find the opener after scoring inside the opening 15 minutes of play in 37.5% of their league road trips this season. By contrast, Pathum’s lapses in concentration have seen them fail to get on the scoresheet inside the last 15 minutes in all eight top-flight travels thus far.
