Rasisalai United are 16th with 1 point from 6 matches. They are still without a win, with 1 draw and 5 defeats, and have scored 8 goals while conceding 19. Pattani therefore start the day ahead in the standings, holding 4 points to Rasisalai United's 1.

Pattani's last 5 matches have brought 1 win and 4 defeats. Their most recent outing was a 1-3 loss away to Lamphun Warriors. Before that, they were beaten 0-1 at home by Buriram United, and before that they lost 2-3 away to Port FC. Prior to those results came a 0-3 home defeat by PT Prachuap, and before that a 2-1 away win over Uthai Thani, their only victory in the sequence.

Rasisalai United have collected 1 draw and 4 defeats from their last 5 matches. Most recently they lost 1-4 at home to Ayutthaya United. Before that, they were beaten 1-5 away to Sukhothai, and before that 2-4 away to Uthai Thani.

Previous meetings

The clubs have met once before. That match, on 18 February 2026, finished Pattani 1-1 Rasisalai United, leaving neither side with the upper hand in the head-to-head record.

Players to watch

Igor Neves Alves is Pattani's top scorer in the Thai League 1 this season with 2 goals. With his side still searching for a first league goal at home, his contribution in front of goal will be closely watched.

Gilberto Macedo de Macena leads the way for Rasisalai United with 3 goals in the Thai League 1 this season. He is the main attacking reference point for a side that has found the net regularly in its recent matches.

How the two sides tend to play

The numbers point to two contrasting profiles. Pattani have been the tighter of the two teams, conceding 11 goals in 6 league matches, but scoring has been a problem: 5 goals in total, and none at home. In their last 5 matches they scored in 3, kept a clean sheet in 0, and both teams scored in 3.

Rasisalai United have shown more of a cutting edge, scoring 8 league goals, yet their defensive record of 19 conceded is the heavier burden. Across their last 5 matches they scored in every one, kept a clean sheet in 0, and both teams scored in all 5. Away from home they have conceded 12 goals in 3 matches.

That sets up a clear contrast on the pitch: a Pattani side whose home attack has yet to fire against a Rasisalai United team that has consistently found the net but struggled to keep goals out, especially on the road. Neither club has kept a clean sheet in its last 5 matches, so both defences will face scrutiny.

With Pattani looking to build on their lead over their visitors in the table and Rasisalai United still chasing a first win of the campaign, the meeting carries real significance for two clubs eager to turn their seasons around.
