Chonburi FC vs Rayong FC — Tips & Analysis

Over 2.5: Goals follow both of these teams around. Chonburi's games have 3 goals in them on average and 10 of their last 20 had 3 or more. Rayong's games run a little higher, at just over 3 goals, with 11 of their last 20 hitting 3 or more. Chonburi have been strong at their own ground, winning 6 of their last 10 there and scoring almost 2 goals a game. They also beat Rayong 4-1 here in April. Rayong are the main reason this pick is on. They have won one of eleven away games and let in more than 2 goals a game on the road. They let in six at Ratchaburi and four at Uthai Thani on their travels last season. They do keep scoring though, and the last five meetings between these two have averaged 3 goals. Our read is a 2-1 Chonburi win, which is the sort of game this pick needs. The honest risk is that the season is only one round old. Rayong opened with a 1-0 home win over Prachuap, and Chonburi lost their opener at Chiangrai, so both may start carefully. Thai League squads change a lot between seasons too, so last year's habits may not hold. We still expect an open game with goals at both ends.
