Ubon UMT United face a test of their fortitude when they host resurgent four-time former champions Buriram United at UMT Stadium in a northeastern derby this weekend after which the Thai League 1 goes into a break for Songkran. Buriram United manager Tatthep Pitakpoolsin said: "The victory over Muang Thong on Monday was crucial to our team's confidence. Newly promoted Ubon kept pace with deposed leaders Muang Thong early in the season for some time, but then their campaign skidded off the track. Big-spenders Chiang Rai should have few problems against Port, while Muang Thong are heavy favourites against Super Power.
