The Preview
We look forward to whats in store on Match Week 20 and give our predictions.
Thai League 1 2024/25 Match Week 20
Saturday 01st Feb 2025
Ratchaburi FC V Lamphun Warrior - 18:30 (True Ball 02)
Can the Dragons of Ratchaburi get back to winning ways, Lamphun have been in mixed form recently and Gama team really need a win to pull away from the relegation pack.
Prediction 3-0
Nongbua Pitchaya V BG Pathum United - 18:30 (True Ball 01)
Will this be Anthony Hudson debut for BG after his appointment was annouced, can hr get the out of sorts Rabbits hopping in the right direction. Nongbua are another team desperate for points only outside the drop zone on goal difference.
Prediction 1-2
Rayong V Uthai Thani - 19:00 (True Ball 03)
Rayong’s draw to the Swat Cat’s last week was unpredicted but nobody could have predicted Uthai Thani win over Sukhothai. a very hard game to call.
Prediction 1-1
Sunday 02nd Feb 2025
Bangkok United V Nakorn Ratchasima - 18:00 (True Ball 02)
Nakorn Ratchasima have lifted their game after a poor opening to the second leg of the season, though after their exerts in midweek versus Chonburi in the FA Cup it might be too much. Bangkok United are looking solid at the back and hard to break down.
Prediction 2-1
Chiang Rai United V Nakon Pathom - 18:00 (True Ball 01)
A real relegation head to head, Chiang Rai failed to build upon their strong showing against Pathum United in MW19. and fell apart against Prachuap. Nakon Pathom held their own for 30 mins against Buriram. Anything but a win for either side would be a disaster.
Prediction 1-2
Buriram United V Port FC - 18:00 (True Ball 03)
Our pick for Match of the Weekend, on paper a very one sided affair with the Champions in fine form and the visitors on a poor run. But in the high tempered affair anything can happen and an upset would cause the title race to get a little bit more exciting.
Sukhothai V Muangthong United - 19:00 (True Ball 04)
Sukhothai loss to Uthai Thani last weekend weakened their claim to start competing for a spot in thr continental running they will have to play alot better against a MTU side that were themselves fortunate to come away with a win against Nongbua
Prediction 2-2
Khon Kaen United V Prachuap - 19:00
Prachuap were unlucky in midweek against Buriram (see below) and Khon Kaen can’t buy a win (we’re not insuating they have tried). A loss at home here maybe the end of their season and time to start building for a quck bounce back from T2 next year.
Prediction 0-3
Results this week:
Wednesday 29th Jan 2025
Thai League 1
Prachuap 1-2 Buriram United
For the second match in a row, Buriram United had to come back from behind after the home team took a deserved lead through Keron in the 28th minute. The visitors responded after the break with a goal by Thai wonderkid Suphanat on the 53 minute and a penalty by Bissoli in the 68th. Prachuap were more than a bit unlucky to have a goal chalked off in extra time for a dubious offside.
