Buriram United vs Chiangrai UnitedPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

The Thai season has only just restarted and neither side has a set of league numbers to work from yet: what counts are their latest outings and the head to head record. Buriram United put together five wins and one defeat in their six most recent games, a 3-0 friendly away at BG Pathum United in late July, 1-0 against Prachuap and 5-0 against Ayutthaya FC in the FA Cup, a double over Selangor in the ASEAN Club Championship, 2-1 at home and 1-0 away, and their only slip, a 1-2 at home to Johor Darul Takzim FC. Chiangrai United stopped in May with a 1-0 home win over Uthai Thani, preceded by a 0-0 away at Lamphun Warrior, a 1-0 against Ratchaburi and a 2-0 against Bangkok United; further back come a 1-1 with Sukhothai FC and a 1-2 away at Muangthong United. Six matches, three wins, two draws and one defeat. The previous meetings all run one way: six games and six wins for Buriram United, among them the 8-1 of January 2026 and the 8-0 of January 2025 at the Chang Arena, plus the 5-0 of August 2024 away at Chiangrai United. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
