Pattani vs Prachuap — Tips & Analysis

Pattani +0.5: Pattani are hard to beat at home, and that is exactly what this pick needs. They have not lost in 11 of their last 12 home games. Their start in the top flight has gone well too. They held BG Pathum to a 0-0 and then won 2-1 at Uthai Thani, who now lead the table. Pattani score more than a goal a game and let in just over a goal a game. Prachuap do not travel well at all. They have won 3, tied 4 and lost 5 across their last 12 away trips, and they score less than a goal a game on the road. Those trips include a 0-1 at Rayong and 0-3 at both BG Pathum and Port FC. They are a quiet team in general. Their games have almost 2 goals in them on average, and only 6 of their last 20 had 3 or more goals. A side that keeps games this tight will not blow anyone away. A 1-0 home win is the most likely result, and Pattani only have to avoid a defeat. The honest worry is the level. Pattani came up this summer and 8 of their last 10 results came in the second tier, so their strong record was built against weaker teams. Prachuap let in under a goal a game and can win a tight one with a single moment. We still side with Pattani here.
