The trip to Chang Arena this midweek will certainly bring many emotions for coach Mano Polking and his team. Also on this field in May, Buriram United and CAHN faced each other in the second leg of the final of the 2024/25 Southeast Asian Cup C1.
Despite leading by 2 goals until the 83rd minute, CAHN still let the home team equalize 2-2 in the 8th minute of injury time, before falling in the nerve-wracking penalty shootout. The defeat was truly bitter and hard to swallow. Sharing in an interview before the upcoming rematch, Coach Polking admitted that he was still haunted by the championship slipping out of his grasp.
But the Brazilian strategist and his students also understand that it will not be easy to repay the debt. Buriram United currently has a stable face. In the Thai National Championship, the team under coach Mark Jackson is flying high at the top with a record of 10 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, 6 points ahead of the opponent ranked below.
Meanwhile, in the Asian Cup C1 arena, Buriram United is currently ranked 8th out of 12. If they successfully maintain this position, the reigning champion Thailand will have a place in the round of 16. Playing at home clearly brings an important support for Theerathon Bunmathan and his teammates.
Since the dramatic final match with CAHN, Buriram United have played 14 more times as guests but have never known defeat (won 11 and drawn 3). However, the tight schedule of recent matches (more than 3 days/match) will bring significant physical challenges to the home team.
Before the 3rd match of Group A, CAHN was ranked 4th with 3 points. Coach Polking and his team could have done better if they had not had a regrettable 1-2 loss at BG Pathum on the opening day. However, the lessons learned from the bitter defeats will be useful for Quang Hai and his teammates on their arduous journey in the international arena.
For their part, Buriram United are also very thirsty for points as they have only managed to get 2 draws against Selangor (Malaysia) and fellow countrymen BG Pathum. A match that promises to be difficult for CAHN in their return to the Land of the Golden Temple.
In addition to the efforts and fighting spirit of each team member, the V.League representative certainly also looks forward to the enthusiastic cheers from the fans.
In case for many reasons they cannot directly attend the Chang Arena stands, fans can still support the Vietnamese representative through live TV channels orFPT Play's online platform.
