Port FC will travel to face Nakhon Ratchasima (commonly known as Korat) today in their latest Thai League fixture. The visitors currently sit atop the Thai League table with 24 points from their first 11 games, maintaining a two-point lead over second-placed Chiangrai United.
The Klongtoei outfit were held last time out by local rivals Bangkok United in a feisty 1-1 draw which devolved into a brawl at the PAT Stadium. Meanwhile, Korat managed a resounding 4-2 victory over Chiangmai FC, and are on a run of three consecutive home victories, during which time they have scored 11 times. The hosts sit fifth, seven points adrift of the league leaders and could have ambitions of getting even closer to them on current form.
Meanwhile, Chiangrai United travel to Trat, looking to take advantage of any potential slip-up to haul themselves to the league summit. Their hosts present formidable opposition, having presented themselves as one of the league’s most overperforming sides since winning an unlikely promotion from the second division.
Elsewhere, both Chainat and Sukhothai will be looking to turn around their poor form in their clash tonight, while Suphanburi host Rayong in a crucial six-pointer at the bottom of the league.
