Sakon FC challenge at Nong Khai
Of 21 games played this year, Sakon Nakhon FC only brought the gold home three times.
Interestingly the first win of the year was against Nong Khai in Sakon Nakhon in March
This Saturday Sakon Nakhon FC again faces Nong Khai on their home turf.
A quick history lesson will reveal that Nong Khai clobbered us 3-1 on their home turf in 2013.
Going Back a year, in January of 2012 I Nong Kai beat SakonNakhon F.C. like a 'bad child' 4-0. A second game that year also ended in Nong Khai win 2-0
In 2011 Nong Khai was the winner of the Phu Phan Cup and beat Sakon Nakhon FC 3-1 in a regular season game.
If I were a betting man I would not bet on a Sakon Nakhon win just yet.
First I'd be doing some heavy praying to Vassakan and beg him to saturate the playing field.
Sakon FC players do much better on a field which resembles a bath tub.
Vassakan is the god of rain who enjoys having rockets shot up his rear end as a wakeup call
