In this Thai Premier League fixture, the teams meet at the home of Ayutthaya United, with the hosts sitting 8th on 7 points from 4 matches, while Lamphun Warrior are 15th with just a single point from 4 matches. Both sides need three points for different reasons. The hosts want to climb up and join the upper group, while the visitors need early points to avoid dropping away from the lower situation in the table. Ayutthaya United have just drawn 1-1 in their latest match, and their overall league record is 2 won, 1 drawn, 1 lost, scoring 5 and conceding 4. Their attack is not exactly sharp yet but they can find chances from counter-attacks and set pieces. Meanwhile, Lamphun Warrior lost 0-2 in their latest match and have not won anyone at all in the league this season, with their 4 matches so far yielding only a single point from a 1-1 draw, scoring 3 and conceding 9. Their defence has clear problems, especially late in games, where they concede as much as 39% of all the goals they let in. The pattern of play therefore looks likely to be the hosts having slightly more possession, based on the stats from the last 10 matches with 40.9% possession compared to 47.1% for the visitors. But the visitors tend to shoot on target more, at 5.8 shots per game compared to 3.2 for the hosts. This game therefore has the chance to be a back-and-forth exchange throughout, especially with Lamphun Warrior needing to open up to find their first win, and Ayutthaya United being suited to waiting for counter-attacks against a team pushing high.
