Sakon Nakhon FC at Ubon UMT FC

The Sakon Nakhon Team and staff departed early Saturday morning on a 385 km (240 mile) bus journey to Ubon Ratchathani. They arrived at their destination mid afternoon, according to a text message from one of the players.

You've most likely heard of the Saying:

Chance of a Snowflake in Hell

That's the chance Sakon Nakhon has of winning this meet.
Ubon UMT FC is number one in the league, winning all seven of it's games this season.
Sakon Nakhon FC is 13th in the league of 14 teams.

It seems Sakon Nakhon FC is in a rebuilding mode, and even though their standings aren't memorable, they put on an exciting performance.

Let's not forget there have been a number of very bad referee decisions at the expense of the team this season.

I expect some exciting game action in Ubon this evening starting at 6 pm.

Chances of some winning games in May are much improved. It's an uphill battle.
