Team Form

Mahasarakham United's recent form is poor. In their last five matches, they have two draws and three losses (D, D, L, L, L). Their most recent outing was a 3-0 away defeat to KhonKaen United on Sep 12. Before that, they drew 1-1 at home against Songkhla United. They have struggled to find the net, scoring just once in their last three Division 2 games.

Nakhon Ratchasima FC's form is also mixed, with one win, two draws, and two losses in their last five (W, D, D, L, L). They lost 2-1 at home to Chiangmai FC on Sep 12. A 2-2 draw away at Nakhon Pathom on Sep 05 showed some attacking threat. Their win came in a friendly against KhonKaen United, so their competitive form remains unconvincing.

Head-to-Head Record

The head-to-head record between these two sides shows Mahasarakham United with a slight edge. In three previous meetings, Mahasarakham United has won twice, and Nakhon Ratchasima FC has won once. There have been no draws. The most recent match was a League Cup game on Jan 28, 2026, where Mahasarakham United won 2-0 at home. Nakhon Ratchasima FC's only win came at home in November 2020, a 2-0 victory. The history suggests Mahasarakham United knows how to get a result in this fixture.

League Table Positions

Neither team appears in the top 12 of the current Division 2 overall standings. The table is led by Satun United with 6 points from 3 games. The absence of both Mahasarakham United and Nakhon Ratchasima FC from the early top spots indicates both teams have had slow starts to the season. This match is a chance for either side to climb the table and build momentum.

Win Probability: Mahasarakham United or Nakhon Ratchasima FC?

After analyzing the data, we calculate the win probability as follows: Mahasarakham United has a 42% chance to win, the draw is at 25%, and Nakhon Ratchasima FC has a 33% chance. This calculation uses the inverse of the average bookmaker odds as a base, then adjusts for the head-to-head advantage Mahasarakham United holds and the home factor. The odds imply a tight game, and the recent poor form of both teams increases the likelihood of a draw. However, Mahasarakham United's historical edge and home advantage tip the balance slightly in their favor.

The best home win odds are around 2.27, with the draw priced at 3.27 and an away win for Nakhon Ratchasima FC at 3.08. Some bookmakers have the home win as low as 2.15. These betting tips reflect a match where the bookmakers see Mahasarakham United as the more likely winner, but the odds also indicate a competitive contest.
