Sukhothai FC vs Nakhon Ratchasima Prediction: The Fire Bats Are Desperate For Points

Nakhon Ratchasima will draw swords against the Firebats of Sukhothai in the eighth matchday of the Thai League. A thriller looks underway as the Firebats seek to envelope the three-point gap against Ratchasima, who look keen to retain their current league standings.

Recent Form: D-D-D-L-W

Ratchasima has three stalemates, one loss and one win in the last five games, accruing a cumulative thirteen points in the first eight league games and earning through hard-fought results the fourth branch on the league tree. As it stands, they avail themselves the opportunity of redemption, having seen the light in the 2-1 win taken over Nong Bua Pitchaya last week after four winless games.

On foreign pitches, Ratchasima has meandered through their last five clashes with a win, two losses and two stalemates. Speculations surrounding Dennis Murillo, who picked an injury last week, confirm his unavailability for this game. Their 4-4-2 formation is expected to be tweaked, as they face a crazed team who won 3-2 in the last direct clash in the Thai League Cup.

Recent Form: L-L-L-W-W

Sukhothai plays the 4-2-3-1, a combination that allows the game to be concentrated in the midfield, leaving offensive incisions to a counterattack majority.

The team has managed to rake in six points in the last three games and is desperate for a win here to buffer up lost points conceded. As it stands, they have shown a latent propensity to score goals, having registered goals in the last five league games, irrespective of results.

The last two meetings between the sides, which registered both BTTS and Over 2.5, also produced wins for Nakhon Ratchasima and Sukhothai FC.

The teams are goal-scoring teams. We expect both camps to inflict casualties on the other’s morale. Our top tips are:

• Over 2.5 goals at 1.72 odds from Bet365.
• A BTTS at 1.60 odd from Betway.
