Buriram United vs Port FC Prediction: BTTS Should Play Out Here

The Lions of Port FC will attempt to discredit the Thunder Castles of Buriram United as the twentieth round of the Thai League 1 goes underway. A huge load rests on the shoulders of the visitors who will attempt to break Buriram’s winning inertia which has consistently flown in the last four league games. The last two meetings between the sides produced flatline stalemates. However, a spark in the home team clashes with the weakened momentum of the visitors, who are tipped as clear underdogs.

Here is the live analysis of this fixture, with an abridged overview of the team's form, recent games, and betting tips that I expect to play through based on statistical analysis and the players' human factors.

Buriram United (1st)

Last Five Matches: L-W-W-W-W

Buriram continues to cruise through the league with wins, with a 2-1 win over Prachuap FC last week helping to reinforce their stay in the lead at 51 points. The game saw the side concede a controversial goal early in the first half, with the opposition trying dirty tactics to delay time for which R. Songsangchan was shown a yellow card. As always the team put all hands on deck to refute the early setback, with starman Bissouli increasing his goal tally in that game, securing the 2-1 lead from the penalty spot after S. Mueanta’s equaliser.

Buriram takes the lead in the league on all fronts, holding the golden prestige of the best attacking and defensive-oriented side simultaneously. In 20 games, the team has scored 68 goals and conceded 10.

Port FC (3rd)

Last Five Matches: W-L-L-L-D

Last week, the Lions of Port FC settled for parity in the six-goal rush against the Dragons of Ratchaburi FC, slowly tagging behind, trailing behind at halftime with a pre-existing 2-1 lead that was tipped the balance - thanks to the penalty conversion by P.Mlapa. The team was determined but lacked awareness of play throughout the game - evidenced by the misses in front of the goal and poor midfield coordination.

Away from home, they have been very poor, with two losses and a stalemate in the last three league matches, where they have netted thrice and conceded five goals.
