Lamphun Warriors host Sukhothai on matchday 8 of the Thai League 1, with kick-off on 6 November 2026 at 12:00. Only a single point separates the two sides going into the match.

Lamphun Warriors sit 8th in the table with 10 points from 7 matches. Their record reads 3 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats, with 12 goals scored and 10 conceded.

Sukhothai are 11th with 9 points from 7 matches, having won 3 and lost 4 without a draw. They have scored 10 goals and conceded 16.

Recent form and home and away records

Lamphun Warriors arrive in strong form. Their most recent match was a 4-0 win away at Rayong. Before that they beat Pattani 3-1 at home, and before that they won 2-0 away at Ayutthaya United. Earlier still, they lost 0-2 at home to Bangkok United, and before that they drew 1-1 away at Rasisalai United. That adds up to 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat from their last 5 matches.

Sukhothai’s latest outing ended in a 0-3 home defeat by Ayutthaya United. Before that they won 2-1 away at Uthai Thani, and before that they recorded a 5-1 home win over Rasisalai United. Earlier still, they lost 0-6 away at Ratchaburi, and before that they beat Port FC 2-1 at home. Their last 5 matches bring 3 wins and 2 defeats.

Despite their recent run, home form has been a weak point for Lamphun Warriors in the Thai League 1 this season. From 3 home matches they have 1 win and 2 defeats, scoring 4 goals and conceding 7.

Sukhothai’s away record reads almost the same: 3 matches, 1 win and 2 defeats, with 2 goals scored and 8 conceded. Something has to give when the two records meet on the pitch.

Previous meetings

The clubs have met once before. On 25 January 2026, Lamphun Warriors beat Sukhothai 3-0, a result the visitors will be keen to put behind them.

Players to watch

Anderson Leonardo da Silva Chaves is Lamphun Warriors’ top scorer in the Thai League 1 this season with 4 goals, and he will be central to the hosts’ hopes of extending their winning run.

Nathan Palafoz de Sousa leads the way for Sukhothai, also with 4 league goals this season. With both players level on that tally, the contest between the two leading marksmen adds an extra layer of interest to the match.

How the two sides tend to play

The numbers point to a Lamphun Warriors side that has found a balance between attack and defence. They have scored 12 goals and conceded 10 in the league, and in their last 5 matches they scored in 4 and kept a clean sheet in 2. Both teams scored in only 2 of those matches, and their three most recent results all came with the opposition held to one goal or fewer.

Sukhothai’s figures tell a more volatile story. They scored in 3 of their last 5 matches but kept a clean sheet in none, and both teams scored in 3 of them. Their goals-conceded total of 16 is the higher of the two sides, and their recent results include wide margins at both ends, from a 5-1 win over Rasisalai United to a 0-6 defeat at Ratchaburi.

Away from home, Sukhothai have scored 2 goals in 3 league matches while conceding 8, which suggests that keeping things tight at the back will be a priority for the visitors. Lamphun Warriors, for their part, have conceded 7 in 3 home matches, so the hosts’ defence will also be tested.
