Points Away are Crucial

The Twin Kirin face a crucial test this week as the demanding Thai League schedule requires a second consecutive away trip. Muangthong United travels north to take on Lamphun Warriors F.C.—nicknamed “The White King Elephants” (ราชันโคขาว)—at Mae Kuang Stadium this Friday, October 3rd, at 7:00 PM.

This Matchday 7 fixture comes at a pivotal time for the squad. While the team currently sits in 7th place on the table, the ambition of Muangthong United is clear: to be competing at the very top. This game represents an important opportunity to prove the team’s mental and physical toughness under a strenuous schedule. The recent draw in Korat suggests our away match form is improving, and the team will look to build on that resilience.

Lamphun Warriors F.C. are known for their defensive discipline and strong organization at home. This battle will require tactical precision and high energy from the entire Muangthong squad. Fans can expect a challenging contest, but one that the Twin Kirin are ready to embrace.
